## ANSWER

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

(a): District Development Coordination And Monitoring Committee (DISHA) were constituted in June 2016 under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble Members of Parliament with a view to fulfil the objective of ensuring better coordination among all the elected representatives in Parliament, State Legislatures and Local Governments (Panchayati Raj Institutions, Municipal Bodies) for efficient and time bound development of  districts  of  our  country.  These  Committees are entrusted with monitoring the progress of programmes/ schemes of Central Government to promote synergy and convergence for greater impact. To facilitate the DISHA Committees, DISHA Dashboard was launched on 11 th  October 2017 as a centralized platform for information related to Central

Government schemes/ programmes administered by Ministries/Departments.

various

The  DISHA  dashboard  provides  a  user-friendly  interface  to stakeholders, state and district level DISHA committees for viewing progress in implementation of schemes through data, graphs along with time series data for tracking schemes' performance over time. The DISHA Dashboard supports evidence-based discussions during DISHA  meetings  by  providing  updated  information  on  scheme coverage, financial progress and physical outcomes. The Dashboard also  includes  'Meeting  Reporting  Module'  for  uploading  Notices, Agenda,  Minutes  of  Meetings  and  Action  Taken  Reports,  thereby enabling structured follow-up and accountability.

- (b): The DISHA dashboard integrates 101 schemes of 35 Ministries/ Departments making available scheme related information at state/ district/  block/  gram-panchayat/  village  levels  across  the  country, depending upon the availability of data from concerned Ministries. The  Dashboard  does  not  generate  periodic  alerts  or  exception reports. However, it provides continuous access to updated information  on  key  performance  indicators  of  schemes,  facilitates identification of bottlenecks, delays, gaps  etc.  and taking of corrective actions wherever required
- (c) & (d): The  integration  of  scheme  data  through  the  DISHA Dashboard enhances transparency in the implementation of Central Government schemes/ programmes and enables effective monitoring  of  physical  and  financial  progress,  including  targets, achievements,  and  expenditure  status.  By  providing  access  to historical  data  and  trend  analysis,  it  helps  track  performance  and highlight  areas  requiring  intervention,  while  also  improving  interdepartmental coordination and strengthening district-level monitoring.  The  dashboard  supports  more  focused  discussions during  DISHA  meetings,  better  follow-up  through  Action  Taken Reports,  and  timely  resolution  of  issues  related  to  fund  utilization and service delivery.
