## ANSWER

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

(a), (b) & (d): Timely convening of DISHA meetings is crucial for ensuring effective governance and promoting the holistic development  of  districts.  Recognizing  the  critical  importance  of DISHA, Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) is persistently working to ensure that these meetings are convened on a regular basis. All States/ UTs including West Bengal have been urged from time  to  time  to  take  necessary  actions  and  instruct  the  relevant Member Secretaries (District Collectors, Magistrates, Deputy

Commissioners)  to  ensure  that  District  Level  DISHA  meetings  are held  as  per  DISHA  guidelines.  However,  as  per  records,  no  DISHA meeting has been convened in any district of West Bengal, including Malda and Murshidabad under MaldahaDakshinLokSabha Constituency since 2019-20.

In the federal governance structure, the administrative responsibilities  are  divided  among  the  Union,  State,  and  Local Governments. Although  the  MoRD  facilitates  the  constitution  and composition of DISHA Committees, the actual implementation and administrative  oversight,  including  convening  of  DISHA  meetings, rests with State Governments and respective District Authorities.

(c): No.

(a)to(e):    Steel  is  a  deregulated  sector  and  the  Government  acts  as  a  facilitator  by creating  a  conducive  policy  environment  for  the  development  of  the  steel  sector.

The steel products covered in Quality Control Order are required to adhere the standard prescribed by BIS. In order to ensure sufficient domestic availability and uninterrupted  supply  chain  for  domestic  MSMEs,  relaxations  are  given  including stainless steel.

Government has taken several measures to protect domestic steel industry and to improve the competitiveness of domestic steel manufacturers to reduce dependency on imports which include the following: -

1. Implementation of Domestically Manufactured Iron & Steel Products (DMI&SP) Policy for promoting 'Made in India' steel for Government procurement.
2. Launch of the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for Specialty Steel to promote the manufacturing of value-added steel within the country and reduce imports by attracting capital investments.
3. Revamping Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) to provide granular details on imports to the domestic steel industry.
4. Introduction  of  Steel  Quality  Control  Orders  thereby  banning  sub-standard/ defective  steel  products  in  the  domestic  market  as  well  as  imports  to  ensure  the availability of quality steel to the industry, users, and public at large.
