## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI MUKHTAR ABBAS NAQVI)

- (a) to  (c)  Under  Multi-sectoral  Development  Programme  (MsDP)  and  Scholarship Schemes, the State-wise and year-wise details of funds released and utilized including the State of Kerala, during last three years and current year are at Annexure I andII. Other  schemes  of  the  Ministry  are  Central  Sector  Schemes  implemented  by  the Ministry  directly  through  selected  agencies/  organisations.  There  are  no  State-wise release of funds under these schemes. The scheme-wise details of funds released under these schemes during last three years and current year are at Annexure III.
- (d) Under MsDP, the utilisation of funds by States/ Union Territories (UTs) is slow. The funds  released  to  the  States/UTs  were  mainly  related  to  the  projects  for  creation  of infrastructure  for  education,  health,  etc.  These  projects  generally  have  long  gestation period and require fulfillment of various modalities like land development, tendering process, etc. for starting the project.

To expedite  utilisation  of  funds  and  implement  various  schemes  effectively, National  and  Regional  conferences/  meetings  with  the  officials  of  States/UTs  are organised by the Ministry and the progress of all programmes of the Ministry including MsDP,  where  the  States  are  involved,  is  reviewed  periodically.    Under  MsDP  and Scholarship Schemes, regular review meetings with States/UTs are also held through Video  Conferencing.  States/UTs  are  also  reminded  and  sensitized  through  regular communications at higher levels of the Ministry for further utilization of funds. In case of  Scholarships,  from  current  year  2015-16,  the  Scholarship  Schemes  have  become online under Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mode on National Scholarship Portal. So the funds are not required to be transferred to the States/ UTs.

Further,  Government  has  approved  the  restructuring  of  National  Minorities Development  and  Finance  Corporation  (NMDFC)  to  improve  its  functioning  and enhance outreach. The Authorised share capital of NMDFC has been increased to Rs. 3000 crore and a committee has been constituted to oversee the restructuring process.
