## ANSWER

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

(a) to (g): The primary goal of SaansadAdarsh Gram Yojana (SAGY) was the holistic development of three Adarsh Grams by March, 2019 and  thereafter,  five  such  Adarsh  Grams  (one  per  year)  till  2024 through the leadership and guidance of Hon'ble Members  of

Parliament (MPs).  An Adarsh Gram emerged from a shared vision of the community, leveraging people's capabilities and available resources  to  the  fullest  extent,  with  active  facilitation  by  the Member of Parliament, Gram Panchayat, civil society, and government institutions.

SAGY is a 100% convergence based scheme without allocation of any funds for developmental projects undertaken under the  scheme.  Resources  for  SAGY  projects  are  mobilized  from  the funds  available  under  Central  &  State  schemes,  CSR  funds  and Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) fund  &  Member  of  Legislative  Assembly  Development  Scheme (MLALAD) fund. The VDP implementation progress is being regularly updated on SAGY Portal (saanjhi.gov.in).

SaansadAdarsh  Gram  Yojana  (SAGY)  is  monitored  through periodic reviews by two National Level Committees, chaired by the Hon'ble  Minister  of  Rural  Development  and  the  Secretary  of  Rural Development.  In  addition,  it  is  also  monitored  by  a  State  Level Committee,  headed  by  the  Chief  Secretary  and  a  District  Level Committee,  led  by  the  District  Collector.   The  Ministry  of  Rural Development (MoRD) also reviews SAGY's progress in coordination with State Nodal Officers (SNOs), District Collectors, and Charged Officers.   Monitoring  mechanism  also  includes  regular  updates  by States and Districts on the SAGY Portal.

Hon'ble  Members  of  Parliament  have  identified  total  3,361 Gram Panchayats under SaansadAdarsh Gram Yojana.  Under these Gram Panchyats, a total of 2,33,564 development projects/activities have been completed.   Now the selection of new GPs under SAGY has already completed on 31 st  March, 2024. The state-wise details of  Gram  Panchayats  selected  and  the  activities  completed  under the SansadAdarsh  Gram  Yojana across India, including Uttar Pradesh, are as follows:
