## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ

## (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGHALIAS LALANSINGH)

(a) The Revamped Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Abhiyan (RGSA) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme that has been implemented since the financial year 2022-23 in States/ UTs, including the State of Madhya Pradesh. The scheme comprises the Central and the State components. The Central component of the scheme consists of the components like, Incentivisation of Panchayats (IoP), Mission Mode Project (MMP), Action Research & Publicity, and International Co-operation-Membership to International Local Governance Bodies, whereas the State component consists of capacity building & training, Institutional Infrastructure, and Panchayat infrastructural support on a limited scale.

The scheme is being implemented with the main objective of building the capacity of Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs) by creating a learning ecosystem, especially through training to the Elected Representatives (ERs), functionaries and other stakeholders to develop their governance capabilities to function effectively, and also by supporting exposure visits, development of training modules and materials, etc. Further, the scheme also provides support for the establishment of an institutional mechanism for the Capacity Building & Training and to create Panchayat infrastructure like Gram Panchayat Bhawan, Co-location of Common Service Centres (CSCs) in Gram Panchayat Bhawan and provision for computers in GPs on a limited scale.

(b) The Ministry is implementing the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) under RGSA, to enhance transparency, efficiency, and governance at the grassroots level. The eGramSwaraj application, developed as part of the e-Panchayat MMP, has facilitated digital planning, accounting, monitoring, and online payments at the Panchayat level. The integration of eGramSwaraj with the Public Financial Management System (PFMS) enables real-time payments to vendors and service providers, ensuring seamless fund flow and reducing delays..

(c) and (d) Yes, the e-GramSwaraj App has proven to be beneficial in monitoring the works being carried out in Panchayats. The application provides a unified digital platform for planning, implementation, and monitoring of development works, enabling real-time tracking of physical and financial progress. It facilitates geo-tagging of assets, ensuring transparency and accountability in execution. Further, the integration with other systems, such as PFMS, enables effective tracking of fund utilization. The dashboard and reporting features of the application support continuous monitoring by stakeholders at all levels, thereby strengthening overall governance at the grassroots level.

During FY 2025-26, 2,55,254 (96.61%) Gram Panchayats across the country uploaded their Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs). During the same period, Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) transferred more than ₹53,342 crore to vendors through the eGramSwaraj-PFMS interface. The State-wise adoption status of eGramSwaraj, for the XV Finance Commission, is provided in the Annexure-I
