## Answer

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)

(a) to (d): The Government has taken several initiatives for development of rural infrastructure in  the  country  including  the  State  of  Chhattisgarh  through  various  schemes  viz.  Rural Infrastructure  Development  Fund  (RIDF),  Agriculture  Infrastructure  Fund  (AIF),  Pradhan Mantri  Formalisation  of  Micro  Food  Processing  Enterprises  Scheme  (PMFME),  Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) , Warehouse Infrastructure Fund (WIF), etc.

Govt.  of  India  in  consultation  with  RBI  allocates  funds  to  NABARD  from  Priority  Sector Shortfall on annual basis for RIDF and NABARD further allocates these funds to different State/UT  governments  based  on  approved  normative  allocation  criteria.  As  reported  by NABARD, the details of funds allocated under RIDF during the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise including Chhattisgarh are given at Annexure I .

The Government is implementing various centrally sponsored rural development schemes viz. National Social Assistance Progamme (NSAP), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee  Programme,  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojna,  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  YojnaGrameen (PMAY-G), etc.  In order to ensure that the programme benefits reach the rural poor, emphasis  is  accorded  on  proper  implementation  of  these  schemes  through  multi-level monitoring & evaluation mechanism. State specific reviews of States/UTs are also undertaken from time to time.
