## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a): The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) maintains data on the number of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), Area Level Federations (ALFs) and City Level Federations (CLFs) formed under the SMID component only at State/UT level.  The  information  under  the  SMID  Component,  as  received  from States/UTs from the year 2014 to 2024 (as on September 30, 2024) is annexed
- at Annexure-I.

- (b): The centrally maintained data primarily relates the physical and financial progress, such as the number of SHGs/federations formed, fund released and credit  linkages  facilitated.  Disaggregated  data  on  functional  performance indicators  such  as  frequency  of  meeting,  regularity  of  savings,  quality  of bookkeeping and extent of access to bank credit is not uniformly captured or aggregated at the national level.

While  DAY-NULM  operational  guidelines  prescribe  such  indicators  for monitoring at the ULB and State Level, their collection and use are largely decentralized and intended for local capacity building and supervision rather than for standardized national-level reporting.

- (c): DAY-NULM  mission  concluded  on  30.09.2024.  There  is  no  proposal  for uniform reporting format across all states/UTs.
