## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

(a) As on 19.03.2026, 2,52,742 (97.68%) Gram Panchayats, out of a total of 2,58,730 Gram Panchayats have been onboarded on the eGramSwaraj platform. The state wise data, including Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Jharkhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, is provided at Annexure . The district wise data regarding onboarding status of Gram Panchayats, including Jalgaon, Dewas, and Shajapur (under Pali Lok Sabha Constituency) is available on eGramSwaraj Portal and can be accessed at https://egramswaraj.gov.in/pfmsDashboardNew.do.

(b) & (c) The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is implementing the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) under the revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) with the objective of strengthening transparency, efficiency, and accountability in the functioning of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) through digital enablement. Ministry has launched eGramSwaraj, an accounting application to simplify Panchayat work like planning, accounting, budgeting and work progress monitoring. These modules are operational across States/UTs, including Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan, Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, and districts such as Durg, Bemetara, Dumka, as well as areas under Chhattisgarh, and Parliamentary Constituencies such as Bharatpur and Pali. State wise details are placed at Annexure . The district wise data is available on eGramSwaraj Portal and can be accessed at https://egramswaraj.gov.in/pfmsDashboardNew.do .

(d) Yes, Sir. The eGramSwaraj portal has been integrated with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) to enable seamless, end-to-end tracking of funds and expenditures at the Gram Panchayat level. This integration facilitates:

-  Real-time transfer of funds by Panchayat
-  Transparent accounting and tracking of expenditures
-  Improved financial discipline and auditability

Further, the portal is integrated with other relevant systems/databases such as Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the India Meteorological Department (IMD), and BHASHINI to enhance data consistency and improve governance outcomes.

- (e) The integration and operationalisation of the eGramSwaraj portal have resulted in measurable improvements, including:
-  Enhanced financial transparency through real-time accounting and public visibility of Panchayat transactions
-  Improved monitoring of works via geo-tagging and online progress tracking
-  Timely utilisation of funds due to direct transfer and reduced procedural delays
-  Increased public access to Panchayat-level information through digital platforms

State wise measurable indicators on these parameters are placed at Annexure . The district wise data is available on eGramSwaraj Portal and can be accessed at https://egramswaraj.gov.in/pfmsDashboardNew.do
