## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATISTICS  AND  PROGRAMME  IMPLEMENTATION

[SHRI  D.V. SADANANDA GOWDA]

(a) & (b):   The objective of the Members of Parliament Local Area Development  Scheme  (MPLADS)  is  to  enable  MPs  to  recommend works  of  developmental  nature  with  emphasis  on  creation  of durable  community  assets  based  on  locally  felt  needs.  Individual benefits  and  movable  &  non-durable  assets  (certain  exemptions excepted) are generally not allowed under the scheme.

The Guidelines on MPLADS are revised from time to time inter-alia on  the  basis  of  feedback  from  MPs,  States,  District  Authorities, etc., recommendations and advice from Parliamentary Committees, recommendations  and  advice  of  Comptroller  &  Auditor  General  / Public Accounts Committee, internal examinations and discussions in the Ministry, etc. in order to improve the design and implementation of the scheme.

The updated Guidelines on MPLADS as on June 2016 are available in the  public  domain,  including  on  the  official  website  of  Ministry  of Statistics and Programme Implementation (www.mospi.nic.in). (c): The  works  are  recommended  by  the  honourable  MPs  and  are sanctioned as well as executed through District Authorities concerned. The  specific  data  is  maintained  at  the  District  level  and  only  broad parameters  are  maintained  by  this  Ministry.  Based  on  information received  from  the  District  Authorities,  the  State-wise  data  for  years 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (as on 30.06.2016) is given at Annexure.

Note: (i)  The erstwhile State of Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated on 02.06.2014 into the newly-created States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The details in respect of both the newly-created Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are included in erstwhile Andhra Pradesh at S. No.2.

- (ii)  The amount of expenditure in some cases is more than the amount of release in the corresponding period. This is not incongruous as funds are nonlapsable and unspent balances as well as interest at the district level are utilized in the subsequent year (s).

(iii) In some cases the number of works sanctioned / completed are more than the number of works recommended in the corresponding period. This is also not incongruous as the works recommended in earlier years may also get sanctioned / completed in subsequent year (s).

Note: (i) The amount of expenditure in some cases is more than the amount of release in the corresponding period. This is not incongruous as funds are non-lapsable and unspent balances as well as interest at the district level are utilized in the subsequent year (s).

(ii) In some cases the number of works sanctioned / completed are more than the number of works recommended in the corresponding period. This is also not incongruous as the works recommended in earlier years may also get sanctioned / completed in subsequent year (s).

Note:  (i)  The  amount  of  expenditure  in  some  cases  is  more  than  the  amount  of  release  in  the  corresponding  period.  This  is  not incongruous  as  funds  are  non-lapsable  and  unspent  balances  as  well  as  interest  at  the  district  level  are  utilized  in  the subsequent year (s).

(ii)  In  some  cases  the  number  of  works  sanctioned  /  completed  are  more  than  the  number  of  works  recommended  in  the corresponding period. This is also not incongruous as the works recommended in earlier years may also get sanctioned / completed in subsequent year (s).

- (iii)  The abbreviation 'NR' denotes 'Not Reported' by the District Authorities.
