MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  MINISTRY  OF STATISTICS  AND  PROGRAMME  IMPLEMENTATION  AND  MINISTER OF  STATE  FOR  MINISTRY  OF  EXTERNAL  AFFAIRS  [GENERAL  (Dr.) V.K. SINGH (Retd.)]

(a) to (d): A statement is laid on the table of the House.

Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (d) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 163 for answer on 09.03.2016.

- (a): The  works  are  recommended  by  the  honourable  MPs  and  are sanctioned as well as executed through District Authorities concerned. The  specific  data  is  maintained  at  the  District  level  and  only  broad parameters  are  maintained  by  this  Ministry.  Based  on  information received from the District Authorities, the data for years 2012-13, 201314, 2014-15 and 2015-16 (as on 03.03.2016) is given at Annexure.
- (b) & (c): Under  the  MPLADS,  release  of  funds  and  incurring  of expenditure take place continuously. Funds are released MP-wise, on meeting the eligibility criteria specified in the Guidelines on MPLADS. Funds are non-lapsable, both at the end of the Union Government and at the end of the District Authorities. Unspent balances are utilized in the subsequent year (s).

Problems of execution and delay, etc. in implementation of the works are addressed at the district level, data on which is not maintained at the central level in the Ministry.

- Para 3.12 of the Guidelines on MPLADS stipulates that all recommended eligible works should be sanctioned within 75 days from the  date  of  receipt  of  the  recommendation,  after  completing  all formalities. The District Authority shall, however, inform MPs regarding rejection,  if  any,  within  45  days  from  the  date  of  the  receipt  of recommendation, with reasons thereof.
- Para 3.13 of the Guidelines stipulates that the sanction order should stipulate a time-limit for completion of the work by the Implementation Agency. The time-limit for completion of the work should generally not exceed one year. In exceptional cases, where the implementation time exceeds one year, specific reasons for the same should be incorporated  in  the  sanction  order.  The  sanction  order  should  also include a clause for suitable action against the Implementation Agency in the event of their failure to complete the work within the stipulated time as per the State Government procedure.
- (d): Government  through  the  Ministry  of  Statistics  &  Programme Implementation  continuously  emphasizes  on  timely  completion  of works. In cases where  references regarding delay, etc. in the implementation of the works come to notice, the State Government/District  Authority  are  requested  to  take  the  appropriate action.

- Note: (i) The amount of expenditure in some cases is more than the amount of release in the corresponding period. This is not  incongruous  as  funds  are  non-lapsable  and  unspent  balances  as  well  as  interest  at  the  district  level  are utilized in the subsequent year (s).
- (ii) In some cases the number of works sanctioned / completed are more than the number of works recommended in the corresponding period. This is also not incongruous as the works recommended in earlier years may also get sanctioned / completed in subsequent year (s).
- (iii) The abbreviation 'NR' denotes 'Not Reported' by the District Authorities.
