## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT

## ANSWER (SHRI KAMLESH PASWAN)

(a) & (b): To strengthen the District Development Coordination and Monitoring  Committees  (DISHA)  Monitoring  System  constituted  in 2016,  the  DISHA  Dashboard  was  launched  in  October  2017.  This dashboard acts as a centralized platform for information related to Central Government schemes/ programmes administered by various Ministries and which are implemented in the states/ districts/ blocks etc.  The  DISHA  Dashboard  facilitates  monitoring, review,  and coordination  of  development  schemes  at  the  district  level  by providing near real-time information to Members of Parliament and state and district authorities.

The  DISHA  dashboard  provides  the  user-friendly  interface  to stakeholders, state and district level DISHA committees for viewing progress  in  implementation  of  schemes  through  data,  graphs  and time series data for tracking schemes' performance over time. The DISHA Dashboard supports evidence-based discussions during DISHA  meetings  by  providing  updated  information  on  scheme coverage, financial progress and physical outcomes. The Dashboard also  includes  'Meeting  Reporting  Module'  for  uploading  Notices, Agenda,  Minutes  of  Meetings  and  Action  Taken  Reports,  thereby enabling structured follow-up and accountability.

(c): DISHA  Committees  have  been  constituted  in  all  States  and Union  Territories,  covering  776  districts  across  the  country.  The DISHA dashboard integrates 101 schemes of 35 Ministries/ Departments making available scheme related information at state/ district/  block/  gram-panchayat/  village  levels,  depending  upon  the availability  of  data  from  concerned  Ministries,  which  are  mostly updated  on  dashboard  on  daily/  weekly/  monthly/  quarterly  basis. The information/ data available in the DISHA dashboard are meant to be used in the DISHA Committees' meetings across the country for effective monitoring and review of central government schemes.

The  data  related  to  Central  Government  schemes/programmes being implemented in Darbhanga district of Bihar is available on the

Dashboard for review by the Hon'ble Member of Parliament in DISHA Committee meetings.

- (d) & (e): The DISHA Dashboard reflects near real-time or regularly updated  data  sourced  from  the  Management  Information  Systems (MIS) of concerned Central Ministries/Departments. The Dashboard does not generate periodic alerts or exception reports. However, it provides continuous access to updated information on key performance  indicators  of  schemes,  facilitates  identification  of bottlenecks,  delays,  gaps  etc.  and  taking  of  corrective  actions wherever required.
- (f) & (g): The  integration  of  scheme  data  through  the  DISHA Dashboard enhances transparency in the implementation of Central Government schemes/ programmes and enables effective monitoring  of  physical  and  financial  progress,  including  targets, achievements,  and  expenditure  status.  By  providing  access  to historical  data  and  trend  analysis,  it  helps  track  performance  and highlight  areas  requiring  intervention,  while  also  improving  interdepartmental coordination and strengthening district-level monitoring.  The  dashboard  supports  more  focused  discussions during  DISHA  meetings,  better  follow-up  through  Action  Taken Reports,  and  timely  resolution  of  issues  related  to  fund  utilization and service delivery.
