## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PANCHAYATI RAJ (SHRI NIHAL CHAND)

- (a): The  objectives  of  e-Panchayat  MMP  are  to  leverage  information  and  communication technologies as decision making  support  systems  for  Panchayats,  tools  for transparency, disclosure  of  information  to  citizens  and  social  audit,  and  means  for  better  and  convergent delivery  of  services  to  citizens,  for  improving  internal  management  and  efficiency  and  for capacity building of elected representatives and officials.
- (b): In  the  12th  Plan  period,  e-Panchayat  was  dovetailed  in  the  Rajiv  Gandhi  Panchayat Sashastikaran  Abhiyan  (RGPSA)  scheme  of  Ministry  of  Panchayati  Raj.  The  details  of  funds released under the then existing scheme of Mission Project on e-Panchayats and RGPSA yearwise to States/UTs for e-enablement are given at Annexure-I.
- (c): The level of adoption of various Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) Applications developed under e-Panchayat MMP has varied across States/UTs due to differentials in the capacities and preparedness  of  Panchayats  for  e-enablement.  Besides,  some  States  like  Kerala,  Karnataka, Gujarat and West Bengal also have their own State-specific Applications. The States/UTs-wise adoption status of the PES Applications is given at Annexure-II.
