After the transfer of the Scheme to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, revised Guidelines were issued in December 1994. The Guidelines were further revised in February 1997, September 1999, April 2002, November 2005 and August 2012. The revision of Guidelines is based on the operational experience and the suggestions made by Hon’ble Members of Parliament, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha Committees on MPLADS, observations of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, Programme Evaluation Organization of the Planning Commission and all stakeholders. 1.1.3 The annual allocation of the Members of Parliament under MPLADS has also increased over the years, as shown in Table 1.1 Table 1.1 Entitlement per annum Year ` (in crore) 1993 to 1994 0.05 1994-95 to 1997-98 1.00 1998-99 to 2011-12 2.00 2011-12 onwards 5.00 1.1.4 The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, as the Nodal Ministry, is responsible for policy formulation, release of funds and monitoring the 3 MPLADS Annual Report 2012-13 implementation of the Scheme. A Department in each State /Union Territory (UT) is designated as the Nodal Department with the overall responsibility of supervision, monitoring and co-ordination of MPLADS implementation with the districts and other line departments. The Government of India liaises and coordinates with the State Nodal Departments on the MPLADS funds released to the District Authorities. The District Authorities report the status of MPLADS implementation to the Government of India and State Nodal Department. The District Authority implements the MPLADS works through Local Self Governments and other Government agencies. In some cases, the District Authorities engage reputed Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) for execution of MPLADS works. 1.2 Salient features of the Scheme: The basic objective of the Scheme is to enable MPs to recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis on the creation of durable community assets based on locally felt needs. However, various progressive initiatives have been incorporated from time to time more so in the latest Guidelines. The salient features of the scheme are delineated briefly below:- (i) MPLADS is a Central Plan Scheme fully funded by the Government of India under which funds are released in the form of Grants-in-aid directly to the District Authorities. (ii) Works, developmental in nature, based on locally felt needs and always available for the use of the public at large, are eligible under the scheme. Preference under the scheme is given to works relating to national priorities, such as provision of drinking water, public health, education, sanitation, roads, etc. (iii) The funds released under the Scheme are non-lapsable i.e. the entitlement of funds not released in a particular year is carried forward to the subsequent years, subject to eligibility. The annual entitlement per MP/Constituency at present is Rs. 5 crore. (iv) The Members of Parliament have a recommendatory role under the Scheme. They recommend their choice of works to the concerned District 4 MPLADS Annual Report 2012-13 Authorities who implement these works by following the established procedures of the concerned State Government. (v) The District Authority is empowered to examine the eligibility of works, sanction funds and select the Implementing Agencies, prioritize works, supervise overall execution, and monitor the scheme at the ground level. The District Authorities get the works executed through the line departments, local self governments or other government agencies. In some cases, the District Authorities get the works executed through reputed Non Government Organizations. (vi) The Lok Sabha Members can recommend works in their respective constituencies. The elected members of the Rajya Sabha can recommend works anywhere in the State from which they are elected. Nominated Members of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha may select works for implementation anywhere in the country. (vii) There is no limit for works to be executed by Government Agencies. However, there is a ceiling of Rs. 50 lakh for works meant for the life time of each Trust/Society. An MP can recommend funds only upto Rs. 100 lakh in all in a financial year from MPLADS funds for works to societies/trusts. (viii) MPLADS works can be implemented in areas affected by natural calamities like, floods, cyclone, hailstorm, avalanche, cloud burst, pest attack, landslides, tornado, earthquake, drought, Tsunami, fire, chemical, biological and radiological hazards, etc. MPs from the non affected areas of the state can also recommend permissible works upto a maximum of Rs.10 lakh per annum in the affected area(s) in that state. (ix) In the event of “Calamity of severe nature” (which is decided and declared by the Government of India) in any part of the country, an MP can recommend works up to a maximum of Rs. 50 lakh for the affected district. The funds in this regard will be released by the Nodal District Authority of the MP concerned to the District Authority of the affected district to execute permissible works. 5 MPLADS Annual Report 2012-13 (x) In order to accord special attention to the development of areas inhabited by Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), 15% of MPLADS funds are to be utilized for areas inhabited by SC population and 7.5% for areas inhabited by ST population. Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has also decided :- a) In case there is no sufficient tribal population in the constituency of the Lok Sabha Members of Parliament, they are permitted to recommend upto 7.5% of their annual entitlement earmarked for creation of community assets for the Scheduled Tribe areas, in areas where such population is available outside their constituencies but within their state of election. The creation of community assets can be recommended only in the notified CD Blocks with more than 50% tribal population, and primarily for the benefit of the tribal people. b) In order to encourage Trusts/Societies to work for the betterment of the tribal people and provide a fillip to the developmental activities in the tribal areas, the prescribed ceiling of Rs.
