## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SAVITRI THAKUR)

(a)  &  (b)  Under the schemes of the Ministry, funds are released to the States and UTs for implementation  of  the  scheme  and  funds  are  not  directly  released  to  the  constituencies/ districts. The scheme-wise and year-wise details of funds released under the schemes of the Ministry in the State of Madhya Pradesh from the year 2022-23 till date are at Annexure .

(c)  &  (d)  All  the  schemes  implemented  by  the  Ministry  are  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes (CSS) and are implemented by the States and Union Territories (UTs). The budget allocation for these schemes is finalised based on inputs received from the States/UTs regarding their requirements and the trend of expenditure over the previous years. Further, under CSS, States and UTs are required to contribute their corresponding share of funds, incur a minimum of 75% expenditure  of  total  available  funds  and  submit  the  Statement  of  Expenditure  (SoE)  and Utilization Certificates to enable the Ministry to release the central share of funds. Wherever the above conditions are not met, release of the central share gets affected/delayed resulting in slow physical/ financial progress.

The implementation of schemes including utilization of funds is reviewed on regular basis at various high levels through physical meetings, video conferences and field visits.
