## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HARIBHAI PARATHIBHAI CHAUDHARY)

(a)  to (d):  The focus of Modernisation of Police Force (MPF) scheme is to strengthen the police  infrastructure.  Some  of  the  major  items  of  police infrastructure  covered  under  the  scheme  are  police  building,  police housing  under  Plan  and  mobility,  weapons, equipment  for  training, computerization,  forensic  science  and  Mega  City  Policing  (MCP)  under Non-Plan.    The  provision  for  Plan  component  under  MPF  Scheme  was started  only  in  2013-14.    As  on  date,  no  fund  has  been  provided  under Plan  component  of  MPF  Scheme  during  2015-16.    However,  there  is  a Non-Plan  allocation  of  Rs.595.00  crore  under  the  2015-16  budget  for mobility, equipment, weapons etc., for State Police under MPF Scheme.

## L.S.US.Q.NO. 1402 FOR 08.12.2015

Funds are provided to State Governments for procurement of these items including technological gadgets, wireless tools, security and surveillance equipments  as  per  the  Annual  Action  Plan  prepared  by  the  State Governments  which  are  approved  by  the  High  Powered  Committee  in Ministry of Home Affairs.  However, there is no separate fund allocated for the development of state-of-the-art technology in State police headquarters and important headquarters offices of police departments. The details and the funds provided during each of the last three years and the current year, State-wise are given in the Annexure.

Police and Public Order fall under the category of subjects within the domain of the State as per Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India.  Although  the  Central  Government  has  been  supplementing  the State  Governments  through  the  aforementioned  Scheme,  the  primary responsibility  for  modernizing  the  State  Police  Head  Quarters  in  the respective States lies with the State Governments.
