## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ (SHRI RAJIV RANJAN SINGH ALIAS LALAN SINGH)

(a) to (e) Yes sir, 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 in all States.

With a vision to usher in Digital Panchayats and transform rural governance, the eGramSwaraj portal (https://egramswaraj.gov.in) was launched by the Hon'ble Prime Minister on 24th April 2020. 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 eGramSwaraj enables Panchayats to prepare and upload their Annual Panchayat Development Plans(GPDPs) online. Further, 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. The State-wise details on the adoption of eGramSwaraj are provided in the Annexure, and the district-wise details are available on the eGramSwaraj dashboard https://egramswaraj.gov.in/pfmsDashboardNew.do .

Further, the Ministry has also developed several other applications under the e-Panchayat MMP. The Meri Panchayat application provides citizens access to information on Panchayat planning, activities and progress of works. Panchayat NIRNAY facilitates transparent conduct and management of Gram Sabha meetings. The AuditOnline application enables online auditing of Panchayat accounts and financial management, particularly for utilization of Central Finance Commission grants. In addition, the Ministry has introduced SabhaSaar, an

AI-enabled platform for voice-to-text transcription and summarisation of Gram Sabha and Panchayat meetings to ensure accurate documentation of proceedings. As on 18.03.2026, over 1.17 lakh Gram Panchayats have used the SabhaSaar portal for generation of Minutes of Meetings, and more than 2.39 lakh minutes have been uploaded on the portal. In Baghpat, out of 244 Gram Panchayats 223 Gram Panchayats have uploaded 269 videos on SabhaSaar and generated the Minutes of Meeting.

As on 18.03.2026, during the current FY 2025-26, 2,50,902 Gram Panchayats and equivalent (97%), out of a total of 2,58,730 Gram Panchayats and equivalent across the country, have uploaded their Gram Panchayat Development Plans (GPDPs) on eGramSwaraj and 2,44,175 Gram Panchayats and equivalents (94.37%) have made payments amounting to ₹39,440 crore through the eGramSwaraj-PFMS interface. Further, In Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, out of 244 Gram Panchayats, 241 Gram Panchayats have uploaded Development Plan on eGramSwaraj during 2025-26 and have made payment of Rs. 79 crores through eGramSwaraj. The district wise data is also available in Public domain and can be accessed through https://egramswaraj.gov.in/pfmsDashboardNew.do .

Further, under the e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project no funds are being released to the States/districts. The funds are being provided to National Informatics Centre Services Inc. (NICSI) for central-level support towards maintenance of e-Panchayat applications.
