## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS

## (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a) & (b) The Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Ministry of Minority Affairs for creation of community infrastructure in Minority Concentration  Areas  across  the  country.  The  scheme  supports  projects  in  sectors  such  as education, health, skill development, women-centric activities, drinking water supply, sanitation, sports, renewable energy, tourism, animal husbandry and other community infrastructure.

No project proposals have been received during the last two years and the current year from  Nabarangpur  district  (Odisha),  Jalgaon  district  (Maharashtra)  and  Jammu  and  Kashmir under PMJVK.

However, the details of projects approved during the last two years and the current year under  PMJVK are placed at Annexure-I .  Further,  allocation  of  funds  is  not  made  under  the scheme. The details of funds released during the last two years and the current year are provided at Annexure-II .

(c) & (d): No  State-specific  assessment  of  the  impact  of  PMJVK  on  socio-economic indicators has been undertaken in the States of Odisha, Maharashtra and Jammu & Kashmir. However, the Ministry has commissioned a Third-Party Evaluation Study through the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), New Delhi, and an Impact-cum-Assessment Study by the  Development  Monitoring  and  Evaluation  Office  (DMEO),  NITI  Aayog.  These  studies provided evidencebased assessment of the scheme's impact,  efficiency  and  sustainability  in minority-concentrated areas. The assessments reviewed infrastructure creation, service delivery and  outcomes,  and  highlighted  gaps  relating  to  awareness,  fund  flow,  monitoring  and  asset maintenance.

Further, under PMJVK, States and Union Territories are regularly encouraged through Empowered  Committee/Steering  Committee  meetings,  review  meetings  and  Chintan  Shivir consultations to propose high-impact, convergence-based projects with other Central and State schemes.  Such  projects  include  residential  hostels  in  the  education  sector,  multi-speciality hospitals  in  the  health  sector  and  multi-sports  facilities.  These  initiatives  aim  to  expand coverage,  improve  service  delivery  and  ensure  greater  socio-economic  benefits  to  minority communities, including in districts of Odisha such as Nabarangpur.
