## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (PROF. S.P. SINGH BAGHEL)

(a) & (b) The Ministry is implementing the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) with effect from the financial year 2022-23. The primary objective is to build the capacity of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) by providing training to Elected Representatives (ERs) and other stakeholders, enhancing their governance and leadership capabilities to enable Gram Panchayats to function effectively. Apart from training, the scheme also provides support to the States/ UTs to create Panchayat infrastructure like Gram Panchayat Bhawan, Computer and Co-location of Common Service Centres (CSCs) in Gram Panchayat Bhawan on limited scale.

Further, under the Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA), a key focus area is the digital enablement of Panchayats to enhanceservice delivery, transparency, and administrative efficiency. The Ministry is implementing the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) under RGSA, which has greatly improved transparency, efficiency, and governance at the grassroots level.

The eGramSwaraj application, developed as part of the e-Panchayat MMP, facilitates digital planning, accounting, monitoring, and online payments at the Panchayat level. Its integration with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) allows real-time payments to vendors and service providers, ensuring smooth fund flow and minimizing delays.

Additionally, Ministry-developed applications like Meri Panchayat aim to increase transparency in Panchayat governance by making information on planning, activities, and progress of works publicly accessible. Further, Panchayat NIRNAY is an online application designed to improve transparency and management in the conduct of Gram Sabhas by Panchayats.

RGSA is being implemented across all States and Union Territories, including in Madhya Pradesh. As per the information available on Training Management Portal (TMP), participants trained Institute-wise/District-wise in the State of Madhya Pradesh are at Annexure-I.

(c) and (d)Yes, Sir. According to the information provided by the State, under the Panchayat Advancement Index (PAI) Version 1.0 for the financial year 2022 -23, the Tamia Gram Panchayat of Tamia Janpad in Chhindwara district secured the first position in the district based on the overall score across all nine themes related to the localization of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Additionally, in the area of infrastructure, which falls under Theme-6 (Self-reliant Infrastructure in Panchayats), Ner Panchayat of Chhindwara district performed the best. Likewise,Tinkheda Gram Panchayat of SausarJanpad in the same district secured the top position under Theme-8 (Good Governance Panchayat). PAI is a comprehensive assessment tool that measures Panchayat performance in areas such as e-governance, infrastructure, financial management, and quality of governance. Detailed information is enclosed in Annexure-II.
