## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

- a): The Government  had set a target of mobilizing 10 crore rural households into SHGs under the DeendayalAntyodayaYojanaNational  Rural  Livelihood  Mission (DAY  -  NRLM)  by  2023-24.  The target of mobilization of 10 crore households was achieved in March 2024.
- b & c): The State/UT-wise targets and the number of household mobilized under DeenDayalAntyodayaYojana -National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) is given at Annexure.
- d): Nellore  district  has  37  rural  blocks.  All  the  37  blocks  are covered under the DAY-NRLM.

e) The  Central  allocation  under  the  DeendayalAntyodayaYojanaNational Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) for Andhra Pradesh for  the  last  three  financial  years  amounted  to  Rs.  756  crores. However, only Rs. 377 crores released, reason for non- release of entire  amount  is  because  of  non-submission  of  proposals  by  the State due to delay in receipt of funds from Treasury.

For  the  current  financial  year,  the  approved  central  share  under DAY-NRLM  for  Andhra  Pradesh  is  Rs.307.69  crore  out  of  which

Rs.76.92 crore has been released so far.

The MahilaKisanSashaktikaranPariyojana (MKSP), a key subscheme  under  DAY-NRLM  aimed  at  enhancing  the  livelihoods  and income  of  MahilaKisans.  The  Ministry  had  approved  13  projects under MKSP in 2011, including Nellore District in Andhra Pradesh. After  grant  of  two  extensions,  these  projects  were  closed  in  FY 2019.

For FY 2023-24, the Ministry approved an Annual Action Plan for an amount  of  Rs.  64  Cr.  for  MKSP,  with  the  central  share  being  Rs. 38.40 Cr. and the state share Rs. 25.60 Cr.. The physical target for the  year  included  the  creation  of  160  Integrated  Farming  Clusters (IFC)  under  MKSP.  However,  the  Andhra  Pradesh  SRLM  has  not opened  the  budget  head  for  MKSP  in  FY  2023-24.  Moreover,  the MKSP  budget  provision  was  not  reflected  in  the  Public  Financial Management System (PFMS) TRSY-07 report for FY 2023-24, which are  mandatory  for  the  release  of  funds  under  Central  Sponsored Schemes as per the Department of Expenditure norms. Due to which the Ministry has not released any fund to Andhra Pradesh SRLM for MKSP during FY 2023-24. Out of the total allocation of Rs. 15 crore (Rs.  9  Cr.  Central  Share  +  Rs.  6  Cr.  State  share)  for  FY  2024-25, amount of Rs. 2.25 Cr. has been released as a part of the Central

Share.

Regarding the Start-Up Village Entrepreneurship Programme (SVEP), which is a demand-driven scheme, funds are released based on the submission  of  Detailed  Project  Reports  (DPRs)  from  the  state. However, the Andhra Pradesh SRLM has delayed the submission of the  required  DPRs  and  financial  documents  for  SVEP  components, the programme. Out of the total allocation of Rs. 13.33 crore (Rs. 8 Cr. Central Share + Rs.5.33 Cr. State share) for FY 2024-25, amount of which  has  also delayed the timely release of funds for Rs. 2 Cr. has been released as a part of the Central Share.
