## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

(a): In  FY  2024-25, an  online  Portal  (Training  Portal)  has  been launched  to  receive  the  proposals  from  State  Institute  for  Rural Development (SIRDs)/Extension Training Centres (ETCs) for recurring and non-recurring grants. In FY 2024-25, Rs. 67.966 lakhs has  been  sanctioned  to  SIRD,  Bhubaneshwar  towards  recurring grants for the FY 2024-25. Out of that Rs. 33.983 lakhs has already been  released  as  1st  installment  towards  recurring  grant  (which includes  salary  of  core  faculty  members  and  non-teaching  Staff) vide sanction order dated 29.01.2025 and  14.02.2025.

(b) & (c): As  per  guidelines  issued  by  Department  of  Expenditure for release of funds,  Ministries/Departments shall release the funds as  far  as  possible  in  'Just-in  time'  manner  and  shall  in  no  case release more than 25% of the amount earmarked to the concerned Agency under the scheme in a financial year at a time. Additional funds  (not  more  than  25%  at  a  time)  will  be  released  only  upon receipt of utilization of at least 75% of the funds released earlier. Accordingly,  from  the  FY  2022-23,  the  Recurring  &  Non  Recurring Grants were released to the SIRD/ETC including SIRD, Bhubaneshwar not more than 25% of CNA allocation for the FY at a time.

Releasing  grants  in  four  installments  instead  of  two  has enhanced monitoring and accountability of fund utilization, allowing for more frequent review of work progress to ensure that funds are being used effectively.

(d): Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme  (Mahatma  Gandhi  NREGS)  is  a  demand  driven  wage employment Scheme and funds are released to the States/UTs on the  basis  of  'agreed  to'  Labour  Budget  and  performance  of  the States during the year and there is no provision of allocation of fund State/UT wise.

States/UTs-wise details of fund released  under  Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last three financial years from 2021-22 to 2023-24 are at Annexure-I.

State/UT-wise details of expenditure incurred (including State share) under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS during the last three financial years from 2021-22 to 2023-24 are at Annexure-II.
