EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
MPLAD SCHEME
1. The MPLAD scheme introduced since 1993-94, is a plan fully funded by the
Government of India. The objective of the Scheme is to enable Members of Parliament to
recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis on the creation of durable
community assets based on the locally felt needs. Under the Scheme, yearly allocations,
currently at the rate of Rs. 5 crore per Member, are provided for undertaking developmental
works within an electoral constituency. The scope of the scheme both in terms of increase in
allocation and coverage of projects has been enlarged from time to time in the light of the
experience gained from its implementation. MPs can also recommend some works outside
their constituencies/States for creation of assets permissible under the guidelines.
2. The MPLAD Scheme has created various durable assets such as drinking water
facility, education, electricity, health and family welfare, community centers, irrigation, roads,
pathways and bridges, etc. for the benefit of the local community. As at the end of August,
2012, about 15.32 lakh works are reported to have been recommended, 13.50 lakh were
sanctioned and about 12.14 lakh completed, since the inception of the Scheme. A total
amount of Rs. 26881.75 crore had been released by the Ministry of Statistics & Programme
Implementation (MoS&PI), GoI to different States and UTs under the Scheme. Against thisallocation the States/UTs had sanctioned work of the order of Rs.26512.77 [98.63%].
PRESENT EVALUATION STUDY
3. The Scheme has been in place for a considerable period of about two decades to
observe long term outcomes. The GoI, Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation
[MoS&PI] has assigned the responsibility to Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd [AFC] for:
[i] evaluating the role of different Agencies in the implementation of the Scheme [ii]
undertaking physical verification of Assets created, [iii] examining adherence to GoI
guidelines on the implementation of the scheme and [iv] making an assessment on the utility
and impact of the Scheme to improve project delivery. With this purpose around, the AFC
designed and planned necessary tools to study process as well as the outcomes of the
Scheme to find out as to how well the programme has gone and whether it is yielding the
desired benefits or improvement in outcomes
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED IN CONDUCTING STUDY
4. Before going for the full scale data/information collection, AFC mounted a Pilot study
in three selected districts viz. Narmada to develop an appropriate study design and datasources - both quantitative and qualitative, that would facilitate drawing valid conclusions.

The District had been sanctioned a total 315 works under MPLAD since the inception of the
Scheme in 1993-94 to 2011-12 out of which 60 works have been. A sample of 60 works
based on judicious mix of works under different sub heads of the Scheme covering the
period 2000-01 to 2011-12, was randomly selected which fairly represents the universe of
the study to draw broad inferences. The non-availability and / or non-cooperation of some of
the respondents have limited the scope and coverage of this study. The data relating to the
implementation of the programme was also not presented in an organized manner and the
study team had to scan through various records of the DA, IA and UAs for drawing
inferences.
MAIN EVALUATION FINDINGS
1. The district has been sanctioned and completed 265 MPLAD schemes works above Rs.
1 lakh and above involving a financial outlay of Rs. 428.86 lakh from year 2000-01 to
2011-12.
2. As many as 60 works are covered under followed by 15 works [19.74%] executed under
Irrigation facilities. These two sectors comprise of more than three fifth [63.16%] of the
total works implemented in the District during 2000-01 to 2011-12. The maximum of 20
of MPLADS works were sanctioned in the year 2010-11 and the minimum - 2 works
[3.33%] each in the years 2003-04, 2007-08 and 2010-11. In financial terms, however,
Irrigation facilities had lions share of Rs. 153.30 lakh [63.65%] and Roads, Pathways &
bridges Sector with an expenditure of Rs.62.66 lakh [19.50%] occupied the secondposition. The maximum financial resource allocation was the maximum of Rs. 74.07 lakh
[23.05%] in 2003-04 and the minimum of Rs. 7.30 lakh [2.27%] in 2011-12.
3. The majority of the works - 33 [73.33%] with 72.66% amount, recommended by LS MP,
fall in the cost classification of Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh. In the case of RS MPs, works
covered under Rs.1 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh category constituted 87.50% and 65.68% of the
amount. The average cost per work recommended by LS MPs is Rs. 4.70 lakh whereas
for RS MPs it is only Rs. 2.44 lakh.
4. Education comes next with 15 works [26.32%], followed by Drinking Water Facility with 9
works [15.8%], irrigation Facilities , Sanitation & Public Health and Sports with each one
work [1.82% each]. The number of the entire sector works is roughly in proportion to the
total works executed in the respective sector or the sector considered necessary for the
study. The sample is thus fairly representative of the population to draw general
inferences on the impact of the programmed.
5. sample on year-wise basis, the largest allocation of funds is from the year 2004-05 [Rs.
64.12 lakh; 21.63%], followed by the year 2002-03 [Rs. 47.23 lakh; 15.93%]. Years
2003-04 [Rs. 44.17 lakh; 15.93%] and 2001-02 [Rs. 42.29 lakh; 14.27%] also figure

prominently in the funds break-up of the sample years, others falling in the single-digit
percentage category.
6. Of the total 60 sample works selected for onsite verification, 34 works [56.37%] of the
total selected works were recommended by LS MPs with a financial outlay ofRs.87.37 lakh [57.37%] of the total amount sanctioned. As against this, 26 works
[43.33%] costing Rs. 64.93 lakh [42.63%] were recommended by RS MPs. No works
were recommended by Nominated MPs.
7. MPs are required to earmark 15% and 7.5% of the amount of their annual
recommendations of works to the District Authorities, for execution in the SC/ST
habitation respectively. All the works are executed in the ST area, as the district is
predominantly inhabited by ST population. In Narmada District 100 % of the works
are executed in the SC/ST area and rural areas costing Rs. 152.02 lakh [100%].
8. The Plaques carrying prescribed inscription have been found erected in 60 no. of
sampled work sites (25%) visited by the Study Team. Wherever plaque was found
erected, the required details such as date of commencement of work, completion of
work, cost of the project, etc. were not incorporated.
9. Of the 60 sample works, 6 [10.00%] had been sanctioned to the Societies/Trusts of
the Educational Institutions and all these entities were found eligible for aid under the
Scheme. All the Societies had been submitted necessary undertaking for proper
upkeep and maintenance of the assets creased under the scheme, by them for whichthey had sufficient resources also. Despite the undertaking given, one of the
Societies/Trusts was found deficient in the proper upkeep and maintenance of the
asset given to it under the programme and one Society/Trust was also found to
have used the asset for the purpose other than for which the same was sanctioned.
Further no plaques were found on the work sites of 1 assets on the date of visit and
an explanation was given that the plaques had been duly installed but somehow or
the other disappeared later on.
10. No Societies/Trusts have been extended financial assistance under MPLAD Scheme
more than once during different years and by different MPs. The total aid works outto Rs. 12 lakh to each Society which is within the upper limit of Rs. 25 lakh during the
life time of a beneficiary Society/Trust under MPLAD Scheme guidelines.
ISSUES, SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
On the basis of the issues and concerns emerging from the evaluation study on the
implementation of the MPLAD Scheme in the District, the following suggestions and
recommendations are made:
7/30/2019 222 Gj Narmada Fdr Ne
6/70
Monitoring of MPLADS Works Narmada
AFC India Ltd. (formerly, Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd.) Page 6
1. Maintaining Suggestive shelf / basket of projects in the District
The DA Office needs to take immediate steps to compile a suggestive shelf/basket of
projects in the District after ascertaining the views of all the stakeholders to facilitate the MPs
to identify appropriate areas and sectors for scheme interventions. The list may be updated
periodically.
2. Maintaining of separate data in respect of SC/ST areas
The DA should build-up entire data-base properly and ensure that the stipulated condition
regarding coverage of works in SC areas at 15% and ST areas at 7.5% of the funds
earmarked for the year, is strictly adhered to while implementing MPLAD Scheme in the
district.
3. Observance of stipulated time frame between recommendation-sanction and
execution-completion of works
The DA needs to streamline its systems and procedures to ensure that all the proposals
received from the MPs are disposed of within the stipulated period.
4. Augmentation of Staff in DA Office / establishment of MPLADS Cell
The position of the staff engaged in MPLADS works may be reviewed, and
shortage/readjustment removed/done, based on the standard work norms to ensure that thescheme is implemented smoothly and effectively.
5. Training of District Level Functionaries
The District should organize training programmes / sensitization workshops, on regular basis
to keep the concerned members of the staff familiar and updated on various facets of the
implementation of the scheme which is undergoing many changes from time to time.
6. Monitoring Mechanism
A sound Monitoring Mechanism which is critical for the success of the programme needs to
be put in place by the DA by improving all its tools. The DA should inspect all the works
sanctioned in favour of Societies/Trusts and at least 10% of other works as per scheme
guidelines in addition to the visits of the Senior Officers of the IAs to ensure satisfactory work
progress as per their prescribed procedures, specifications and time schedules. The IAs
should submit Monthly Progress Reports on time. The exclusive Review Meetings should be
organized regularly not beyond quarterly intervals to facilitate communication and networking
between the partners about the project development, deliverables, outputs or issues and
planning. The PRIs should also be made a part of the planning and monitoring.

7. Assets Management
It becomes imperative that appropriate arrangements should be put in place for the
community durable assets and basic facilities created under MPLADS in order to ensure that
the interventions made remain effective and sustainable. No work may be sanctioned
without creating a local institutional set-up with user participation, which has a stake in the
maintenance.
8. Erecting of Plaques at the work sites
It should be made mandatory for the IAs to install /paint well positioned permanent Plaques
on Stone/Metal with necessary inscription, at all the work sites for bringing transparency and
public awareness in the system.
9. Maintenance of Input Formats
The DA/IAs need to improve their present record keeping system to meet their
accountability, transparency and compliance requirements. DA should ensure maintenance
of IV-A, B and C and IV-D input formats for each work. The head-wise Asset Register with
details of the works sanctioned under MPLAD Scheme, being maintained by the DA, should
be complete in all respects and updated. The feasibility of shifting from a fully paper based
records system to a predominantly electronic system may be explored for ensuring prompt
and accurate information.
10. Audit of the MPLADS Works
Institutionalization of this process of auditing of MPLADS is essential to uncover the issues,
concerns and challenges encountered in the execution of a project. DA should draw a time
bound programme for auditing of works through a proper agency, as required under the
scheme.
11. Use of Website
The DA is required to take immediate steps to upload up to date details of all the MPLAD
Scheme works on the website [www.mplads.nic.in] to bring greater transparency and
accountability in the governing process and delivery of service to the citizens. A temporary
cell should be created for this purpose, to complete the updation process in a time-bound
manner, if felt necessary
12. Setting up of Facilitation Centre in the District
Urgent steps need to be taken for developing of a Facilitation Centre equipped with
computer and internet facilities, to make available all the relevant information at one place
for the effective implementation of the programme.

13. Documentation of Pre-work Condition
The DA should initiate steps to place on record some photographs of the pre-work condition
of the proposed work location and document it for records to measure the impact of the
programme.
14. General Aspects
DA should follow all essential guidelines such as maintaining proper records of files,
obtaining prescribed commitments & affidavits , sanctioning only eligible works, initiating
action against the defaulting agencies, keeping in view the ceiling amount of aid to
Societies/Trusts etc. to make the scheme result-oriented, time bound and cost effective.
15. Introducing concept of Social Audit
There is a felt need and desirability of developing a social audit mechanism for the effective
implementation of the MPLAD scheme as a reform tool aimed at strengthening
accountability and transparency in the implementation of projects and policies.

CHAPTERI
INTRODUCTION
NEED FOR BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE
The lack of adequacy of basic infrastructure, both social and physical, with a large variation
across the States and regions, continues to remain a major constraint to the growth process
in India. The huge shortage of basic infrastructure and basic amenities has a wide range of
impacting on individuals, households and community in terms of both income and other
quality of life indicators. The infrastructure deficit holding back development more particularly
in rural India remains a matter of great concern given its slow and uneven pace. The multi-level decentralized planning framework has in most of the States not percolated below the
State level. The paucity of funds with the State Governments leads to only a limited flow of
resources to the local level and the delivery programme is often found out of touch with local
needs and aspirations.
Given the significant positive linkages of infrastructure to economic and social growth, the
MPLAD Scheme has emerged as a practical solution to the problem of the areas suffering
from neglect and under development. The scheme seeks to address the issue of inequity in
development by extending further flow of resources to the local level. This additional source
of investment in infrastructure to meet the felt needs of the local community not reached as
yet for various reasons would have an important advantage to focus on local area specific
problems in the complex socio political milieu of this country. Under the Scheme, yearly
allocations are provided for undertaking developmental works within an electoral
constituency. The funds allocated to the MPs can serve as funds intended to facilitate
structural adjustment of specific sectors, regions, or combinations of both the development
of which is lagging behind.
SCHEME IN BRIEF
The MPLAD scheme introduced since 1993 is meant to help MPs execute small works of a
local nature to meet the urgent needs of their constituents. The objective of the Scheme is to
enable members to recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis on the
creation of durable community assets based on the locally felt needs to be taken up in their
constituencies. Preference under the scheme is given to works relating to national priorities,
such as provision of drinking water, public health, education, sanitation, roads, etc. The
MPLADS is a plan fully funded by the Government of India. Under the scheme, each
Member of Parliament has the choice to suggest to the District Authority work to the extent
of his/her annual entitlement of funds to be taken up in his or her constituency. While elected
members of Lok Sabha can suggest developmental works in their constituency, the elected
7/30/2019 222 Gj Narmada Fdr Ne
10/70
Monitoring of MPLADS Works Narmada
AFC India Ltd. (formerly, Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd.) Page 10
members of Rajya Sabha can recommend works in one or more districts of their State. The
nominated members of Parliament can recommend works in one or more districts anywhere
in the country.
The scope of the scheme has been enlarged from time to time in the light of the experience
gained from its implementation. Earlier, the MPs were able to recommend only those
projects outside the state or UT from which they have been elected that are relating to
cultural and educational activities associated with their own state or UT. Now, the work ambit
would cover a much larger area as prescribed under the scheme. The change is aimed at
fostering greater unity among states and allowing MPs to assist people even outside their
own state. This change has been brought to allow availability of larger MPLADS funds for
developmental activities for general public. The MPs can also transfer the funds for
undertaking rehabilitation works in the area affected by severe natural calamities. The recent
convergence of scheme with MGNREGA will lend mutual support to both the schemes i.e.
MGNREGA and MPLAD in achieving their objective of creating more durable assets.Like-
wisethescheme of cash awards to three best Innovations every year under One MP One
Idea will encourage innovations in the country. The MPs have, however, only a
recommendatory role under the scheme. The designated District authorities implement the
recommended works by following the established procedures of the concerned state
government.
Under the Scheme, yearly allocations are provided for undertaking developmental works
within an electoral constituency. The scheme was started with a modest allocation of an
amount of Rs. 5 lakh to each Member of Parliament, in 1993-94. This was increased to Rs. 1crore in 1994-95 to Rs. 2 crore in 1998-1999 and further to 5 crore during the year 2011-12,
per MP, per annum.
The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation is responsible for the policy
formulation, release of funds and prescribing monitoring mechanism for implementation of
the Scheme. At the State level, a Nodal Department has been created which is responsible
for coordinating, monitoring and supervising the implementation along with all other related
Departments and the District authorities. The Union Ministry issued a set of detailed
guidelines covering the concept, implementation and monitoring of the Scheme, first in
February 1994 and revised in December 1994, February 1997, September 1999, April 2002,
November 2005 and lastly in August 2012 in the light of experience gained over the years.
The roles of the Central Government, State Government, District authorities and
implementing Agencies have been clearly demarcated in the guidelines.
The MPLAD Scheme is generally viewed as a positive potential trend in the delivery of
infrastructure services to contribute to the regional development in multi-sectoral planning
process adopted in the country. As observed by the Honble Supreme Court, the MPLAD
Scheme, in fact, provides the much-needed advantages of public choice without entering
into the private domain and will bring in the much needed efficiency and effectiveness inlocal governance.

The MPLAD Scheme is thus a practical solution to this problem of neglect and
underdevelopment areas and hence emergence of a new paradigm in bottom up planning
and allocation of resources approach, provided it is implemented in its true spirit as
envisaged under its guidelines. The Scheme has started catching attention of the world. A
delegation of newly created South Sudan visited India in July, 2012, to study the Indian
parliaments constituency development fund scheme for replicating it back home.
MPLAD SCHEME MILESTONES
[I] Physical Achievements
The MPLAD Scheme has created various durable assets such as drinking water facility,
education, electricity, health and family welfare, community centers, irrigation, roads,
pathways and bridges, etc. for the benefit of the local community by meeting their various
developmental needs and aspirations. As at the end of August 2012, 15.32 lakh works are
reported to have been recommended, 13.50 lakh were sanctioned and about 12.14 lakh
completed, since inception of the Scheme. The percentage of cumulative works completed
to cumulative works sanctioned, is 89.86%. This is indicative of the fast sanction of works by
the District Authorities.
[ii] Financial Achievements
As on 19 November 2012, a total amount of Rs. 26881.75 crore had been released by the,MoS&PI, GoI to different States and UTs. In this release of funds, UP had the lions share of
14.27%, followed by Maharashtra [8.52%], Andhra Pradesh [7.96%], West Bengal [7.27%],
Tamil Nadu [7.20%], Bihar [6.70%], Madhya Pradesh [5.32%] and Karnataka [5.00%]. These
eight States together had as much as 62.24% share in total funds released under the
Scheme. This is almost in proportion with the strength of the MPs in these States i.e. UP -
14.30%, Maharashtra -8.63%, Andhra Pradesh -7.73%, West Bengal - 7.47%, Tamil Nadu -
7.35%, Bihar - 7.22% , Madhya Pradesh - 5.15% and Karnataka - 5.15%, of the total
number of the existing elected Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Members of the Parliament.
The UT of Lakshadweep had the minimum share of 0.11% closely followed by Chandigarh
and A&N Islands each with 0.12% share. Amongst the States, Sikkim [0.28%] & Mizoram
[0.28%] had the minimum share closely followed by Nagaland [0.29%] in the total release.
Amongst the States, Sikkim [0.28%] & Mizoram [0.28%] had the minimum share closely
followed by Nagaland [0.29%] in the total release. Out of the total released funds of Rs.
26881.75 crore, an amount of Rs.372.05 crore [1.40%] had been released in favour of the
nominated Members of Parliament who can recommend work anywhere in the country,
under the programme. Besides above, an additional amount of Rs.827.47 crore [3.08%] in
the form of interest accrued was also available to the States/UTs.

Against the total allocation of Rs.26881.85 crore, the States/UTs had sanctioned work of the
order of Rs.26512.77 [98.63%]. The progress in the sanction of works may be taken as
satisfactory.
As many as 13 States/UT [37%] viz. Kerala [116.23%], Chandigarh [114.32%], Pondicherry
[109.11%], Sikkim [107.44%], Tamil Nadu [106.56%], Gujarat [106.23%] , D & N Haveli
[105.65%] , Goa [105.25%], Jammu & Kashmir [104.57%], Maharashtra [104.29%], Delhi
[102.96%], A & N Islands [102.70%] and Andhra Pradesh [102.58%], were the high
performing States sanctioning works more than the funds released to them. Daman & Diu
and Nagaland with 86.68% and 68.7% of the works sanctioned against the amount released
were at the bottom of the list. The works sanctioned against the release of funds in respect
of the remaining States/UTs ranged from 90.98% in case of Jharkhand to 98.68% in case of
Rajasthan.
The utilization of funds is the basic indicator of the performance and assumes paramount
importance. As against the sanctioned works worth Rs. 26512.77 crore, an expenditure of
Rs.23934.61 was actually incurred which works out to 89.4%. While A & N Islands with
105.19% of utilization of funds topped the list, Daman & Diu was at the bottom of the list with
82.29% rate of utilization, closely followed by Jharkhand [83.99%], Orissa [84.71%] and
Bihar [84.79%]. In the remaining States/UTs, the utilization of funds was of the order of
85.18% in case of Uttaranchal to 97.11% in respect of Lakshadweep. The unspent balance
of Rs 3774.59 constituted 11.36% of the total available funds of Rs. 27709.20 crore with the
States/UTs for execution of works. The percentage utilization of funds over release is
reasonably good.
The share amongst the elected Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and Nominated Members of
Parliament in the total release of the funds of Rs. 26881.75 by the GoI under the
programme, was of the order of Rs.18832.85 crore [70.06%], Rs 7676.85 crore [28.56%]
and Rs 372.05 crore [1.38%] - Lok Sabha: 65 crore [0.24%] and Rajya Sabha: Rs.307.05
crore [1.14%] respectively. The corresponding figures of sanction of works in respect of
LS , RS MPs , being Rs. 18801.29 crore [99.49% ] - Elected : Rs.18730.56 crore [ 99.62%]
& Nominated Rs. 70.73 crore [0.38%] and Rs.7711.44 crore [96.59%] Elected: Rs.7423.85
crore [96.27%] & Nominated : Rs.287.59 crore [3.73%] respectively. The amount utilized
against sanction was of the order of Rs.18730.56 crore [99.49%] in respect of Lok Sabha
MPs Elected: Rs.18730.56 crore [99.62%] & Nominated : Rs.70.73 crore [0.38%] and
Rs.6932.55 crore [86.83%] Elected: Rs.6674.11 crore [96.27%] & Rs.258.44 crore
[3.73%] in case of Rajya Sabha MPs.
Of the total unspent balance of Rs. 3774.59 crore, an amount of 2432.72 crore [64.45%] -
Rs.2427.11 crore [64.30%] - & Rs.5.61 crore [0.15%] related to the Lok Sabha Elected &
Nominated MPs and the rest Rs.1341.87 crore [35.55%] Rs.1282.40 crore [33.97%] &
Rs.59.47 crore [1.58%] to Rajya Sabha Elected and Nominated MPs respectively.

CHAPTERII
APPROACH & METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT STUDY
The Government of India as a response mechanism to the demand of the general public
voiced through the MPs for provision of certain basic facilities, including basic community
infrastructure in their areas, introduced MPLAD Scheme in 1993-94. The objective of the
Scheme is to enable members to recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis
on the creation of durable community assets based on the locally felt needs to be taken up in
their constituencies. Under the Scheme, yearly allocations are provided for undertaking
developmental works mainly within an electoral constituency. All works to meet the locally
felt community infrastructure and development needs with emphasis on the creation of
durable assets in the respective constituency are permissible under MPLADS, except certain
prohibited works enumerated in the guidelines.
The Scheme has been in place for a considerable period of about two decades to observe
long term outcomes. A large number of about 15.32 lakh works have been recommended,
13.50 lakh sanctioned and 12.14 lakh completed since the inception of the programme till
August, 2012, under different sectors such as drinking water facility, education, electricity,
health and family welfare, community centres, irrigation, roads, pathways and bridges, etc.A few evaluation studies have since been undertaken by different Agencies. The need has
been felt for further outcome evaluations to assess the merit, worth, side effects and
sustainability of the Scheme. It is in this backdrop that the GoI, Ministry of Statistics &
Programme Implementation [MoS&PI] which is responsible for policy formulation, release of
funds and prescribing monitoring mechanism for implementation of the Scheme assigned
the responsibility of an independent, concurrent and qualitative physical inspection of the
works undertaken under the Scheme, to Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd [AFC]. With
this purpose round, the AFC has designed and planned to study process as well as the
outcomes of the Scheme to find out as to how well the programme has gone and whether it
is yielding the desired benefits or improvement in outcomes.
BROAD OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The broad objectives of the monitoring study of MPLADS works instituted by the Ministry are
indicated below:
Evaluating the role of the Implementing Agency in the Success of the Scheme
Undertaking physical verification of the assets created

Examining adherence to the Government of India guidelines on implementation of
the Scheme
Assessing utility and impact of the Scheme on aspects like environmental, cultural,
social, etc. so that the assets created prove to be truly beneficial to the community in
the long run and lead to sustainable development.
APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
It is always gainful to conduct a pre-test or pilot study before going for the full scale
data/information collection. A Pilot study was, therefore, mounted by AFC in three selected
districts viz. Moradabad and Chitrakoot of Uttar Pradesh and S.B.S. Nagar in Punjab during
the period 10th to 14th September 2012 to refine the design and test the availability, reliability,
and appropriateness of the data/information for the proposed study. The study focused on
ascertaining the nature and type of data available at field level as also the coordination and
the operational aspects pertinent to the study, the pattern of utilization of funds, quality of
projects and the local factors influencing the choice of projects under MPLAD scheme. Based
on the findings of this exercise as also in keeping with the Guidelines on MPLADS issued by
the Ministry, a Study Module on Monitoring of MPLADS Works was developed by AFC by
selecting appropriate study design and data sources that would facilitate drawing valid
conclusions. It is intended to facilitate proper conduct of the assignment in conformity with
the terms and service requirements of the Ministry.
Keeping in view the major objectives of the study, the terms of reference and the Govt. ofIndia Guidelines on MPLADS, the approach & methodology of the assignment has been
drawn up as under:
APPROACH
Universe of the Study
The MPLADS works falling within the administrative boundary of the selected district
were the universal set for drawing the sample of works.
All the works of Lok Sabha MPs and Rajya Sabha MPs in that district under MPLAD
scheme since the year 2000 were covered in the universe from which sample have
been drawn.
Sample Size for Field Monitoring
The composition of the sample is as under:
There is no work in the cost category of Rs.25 lakhs and above in the sample.

All sixty [60] works in the District each involving a cost category of Rs. 0.5 lakh to Rs.
5 lakh and above
In addition to above, a few works sanctioned to Trusts/Societies
A few works sanctioned in areas inhabited by SCs/STs.
Sample Profile
The sample is drawn in such a way that it reflects a judicious blend of the following
parameters:
Implementing Agency-wise completed works
Year-wise completed works
Cost of works
MP-wise works [i.e. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha]
Area-wise works Rural, Urban
Sector-wise works [Drinking Water, Education, Electricity, Health & Family
Welfare, Non-conventional Energy Sources, Roads/Bridges/Pathways,
Sanitation & Public Health, Sports and Animal Care, Other Public Facilities etc.]
Some works on which complaints have been received
A few works with more than 2 years of completion period
METHODOLOGY
Study Tools
Suitable formats have been developed to collect basic data on MPLADS works, details of
samples, roles of related agencies, etc. The tools are comprehensive enough to yield
necessary information in order to arrive at a definite conclusion about the quality of the data.
The Study Tools are in 3 parts
1) Basic Data Formats for selection of sample MPLADS works in each district
2) Primary Data Schedules - for collection of primary data from various
stakeholders namely, District Authority, Implementing Agencies, User Community
etc.
3) Report Formats Output Tables for incorporation in the report for meaningful
analysis and drawing necessary inferences thereon

The study team during the data gathering stage encountered some problems in the form of
non-availability and / or non-cooperation of some of the respondents which limited the scope
and coverage of this study. In some instances, respondents opted not to respond many of
the questions in the questionnaire leading to incomplete descriptions of the issue posed. The
data relating to the implementation of the programme were not presented in an organized
manner and the study team had to scan through various records of the DA, IA and UAs for
drawing inferences.
The present monitoring entailed a huge exercise in compilation of all the essential details
on all MPLADS works for a period spanning over about two decades since the inception of
the Scheme in 1993-94.
The obtaining of details of the works sanctioned and completed during the period 2000-01
to 2011-12, was the most important basic task for the study team as the information was a
pre-requisite for sample selection.
The data base and record maintenance was poor in the district. It was being maintained
manually in the past as per their practices. The computerization of records had been
initiated in the district only in the recent past. The district had, thus, to compile the data
manually, as per our requirements. It, therefore, took much time for the DA in supplying
information. On cross checking the information supplied by them from their records, the
team came across several instances where the list of MPLADS works provided by the
district authorities were incomplete.
Obtaining of the sanctioned work estimates from the District Authorities / Implementing
Agencies had been a big challenge. Since the field verification of the work has to be done
with reference to the sanctioned work estimates, to record deviations, if any, it was quite
difficult for the team to move forward fast in the absence of such information with them. In
many cases, the Implementing Agencies expressed difficulties in tracing past files and
sought more time. Accordingly, the field team had to undertake field verification in the
absence of sanctioned work estimates, in respect of many works. In such a situation, the
team undertook physical verification of the asset and recorded the features of the work,
dimensions etc. as seen in the work site for corroboration with the actual work estimate
papers/documents as & when received from the DA/IA.

CHAPTER-III
AN OVERVIEW OF IMPLEMENTATION OFMPLAD SCHEME IN THE DISTRICT
PROGRESS OF MPLAD SCHEME IN THE DISTRICT
The MPLAD scheme empowers Members of Parliament to undertake work of developmental
nature according to the felt needs and aspiration of the people of their constituents. MP may
also choose some projects of national priorities such as Drinking water, Public health,
Sanitation and Roads under the scheme. This chapter reviews the response of the District in
the creation of durable community assets under the programme and the procedures andguidelines adopted, based on both the secondary and primary information collected from the
different sources. The information will lead to an understanding of the issues and challenges
which have come to the fore in the District in the implementation of the scheme.
MPLAD WORKS SANCTIONED & COMPLETED SINCE INCEPTION
Narmada district was formed in the year 1998 therefore MPLADS works have commenced
from 1998-99 onwards. The District has been sanctioned a total of 317 works with a financial
outlay of Rs 461.37 and all works have been completed. Thus we can say that the
performance of the District is 100% and that is a very good achievement.
A year-wise, MP-wise & Cost-wise, SC/ST inhabited Area & Rural/Urban-wise, Broad
Sector-wise & cost wise classification and Work Executing Agencies-wise summary of the
sanctioned and completed works since the inception of the scheme in 1998-99 to 2011-12
along with the details of the recommending MPs and the works executed in the SC/ST
inhabited areas, is presented in Tables 3.1 to Table 3.4 to depict a broad overview of
various facet of implementation of MPLAD Scheme in the District.

As could be seen from the above data from 1993-94 to 2012-13, in initial 5 years, thequantum of sanctioning of schemes was not much . However, in the year 1995-96 onwards itappears that pace of sanctioning schemes jumped up and then onwards it has graduallystabilised. The average schemes sanctioned during the period of eighteen years (from 1993-94 to 2011-12) of MPLAD period stood at 317 schemes ever year and overall performancewas considered as satisfactory. In the 1995-96, 56 schemes at 17.67% of the total schemeswere sanctioned - which could be considered as highest number schemes sanctioned during
the entire period. Excluding initial five years.

CHAPTER-IV
ANALYSIS & RESULTS OF PHYSICAL VERIFICATIONOF SAMPLED MPLAD SCHEME WORKS
SAMPLE MPLAD SCHEME WORKS INCLUDED IN STUDY
When conducting an evaluation, it is critical to select a sample of items or units of analysis
that are representative of the population intended to be studied. A sample of total 60 works
completed during the period 2000-01 to 2011-12 has been selected for physical verification
of the Assets created under the Scheme as per the sample frame outlined in Chapter II.
A sample of 60 works costing Rs. 1 lac and above implemented in the District, have been
included in the sample and the sample has selected on stratified random basis to provide an
accurate reflection of the variations and diversity represented within a population, by going
down the list. The outcome data on sample collected in the study provide results of the
evaluation interventions which could well be generalized or made applicable to the universe
of the study with a greater degree of probability.
DISTRIBUTION PATTERN OF SAMPLE WORKS
The works have been selected in such a way that they will give a fair idea of the
implementation of the scheme from the angle of all the parameters of scheme guidelines.
The Year-wise , MP-wise, IA-wise, Location wise , Community Inhabitation-wise, Broad
Sector wise and Cost -wise classification of sample works are exhibited in Table 4.1 to
Table 4.4.
YEAR-WISE AND SECTOR-WISE DISTRIBUTION OF SAMPLE WORKS
The information relating to Year-wise and Sector-Wise Distribution of Sampled MPLADS

All the broad sectors of works of the MPLAD Scheme implemented in the District during the
period 2000-01 to 2011-12, except Electricity Facility, Health & Family Welfare, Non-
Conventional Energy Sources, Sports and Animal Care Sectors where there was no work
executed or the execution was insignificant, are covered under the sample. Other Public
Facilities sector has been alloted 23 works, followed by Education sector with 15 works,
Roads, Pathways and Bridges with 10 works, Drinking Water Facility with 9 works, Health &
family welfare sector with 2 works and Sanitation & Public Health with 1 work. The number of
the entire sector works is roughly in proportion to the total works executed in the respective
sector or the sector considered necessary for the study. The sample is thus fairly
representative of the population to draw general inferences on the impact of the
programmed.
The maximum of about one fifth 12 works [20.82%] have been carried out in the year
2008-09 followed by 8 works [13.33%] in 2007-08 and the minimum of 2 work [3.33%] in the
year 2003-04. There was no year in which no project was completed.
The information relating to Year-wise and Sector-Wise Distribution of Sampled MPLADS
Works (Financial Outlay) is presented in Table 4.1B.

RECOMMENDATION OF MP AND ADHERENCE TO SANCTIONING CRITERIA
Under the MPLAD Scheme, an MP has to recommend work on his/her letter head duly
signed by him/her to the DA. All the sampled works in the district are reported to have been
recommended by MPs on their letter heads duly signed by them. In a few cases, MPs had
also furnished cost estimates along with the recommendation.
Among the sampled works, in respect of only 6 works, the recommendation of the MP was
received within 90 days from the commencement of the Financial Year which accounted for -
10% of the sampled works for majority of works recommendation was given round the year.
On the receipt of recommendation from the MP, the DA examines the eligibility and technical
feasibility of the work, prepares work estimates, and identifies IA and then accords financial
sanction and administrative approval. The standard sanction letter issued by the DA
contains a clause stipulating the time limit for completion of work by the IA which is normally
not more than one year. In case it is more than one year, specific reasons are required to be
incorporated in the sanction letter/order. Generally, a time limit of 90 days to 180 days is
given. But this limit varies according to the nature of work and amount sanctioned. Copies of
sanctioned letters are being invariably sent to the MPs by DA.
EXECUTION OF WORK
Assets created under the scheme are normally to be maintained by the User Agencies.
District Authority has to identify the User Agencies, obtain necessary clearance from the
Competent Authority where necessary, before sanction of work and follow the process of the
awarding the contract as per the procedure prescribed by the concerned State Government.
The procedure followed by the DA in this regard in the District is shown in Table 4.6.

The standard sanction letters issued by the DA contain a clause stipulating the time limit forcompletion of work by the IA which is normally not more than one year. The sanction letterdoes not contain penal clause for delay in execution of work.
SAMPLED WORKS J OINTLY FUNDED/CONVERGEDWITH OTHER GOVT. SCHEMES/PROGRAMMES
Convergence brings better synergy between different government programmes and
schemes in terms of their planning, process sand implementation in order to use resources
efficiently. MPLAD scheme can be converged with GoI/State Govt. schemes provided such
works are eligible under MPLADS and funds of the other schemes are used first. There
were no cases of convergence of works with other govt. schemes/programmes or any
sampled work jointly funded.
OPENING OF BANK ACCOUNTS
The DA has opened separate MP-wise Savings Bank Accounts in Nationalized Banks as per
scheme Guidelines. All the MPLADS funds received from the GoI are deposited in the bank
accounts and the interest accrued thereon is also being utilized for the recommended works.
DA has been releasing advance to the IAs on time and as per Scheme Guidelines.
RELEASE OF ADVANCE TO IA IN RESPECT OF THE SAMPLED WORKS
Timely and adequate release of funds to the IAs helps in the smooth implementation of a
project. Under the Guidelines, DA could release advance up to 50% of the estimated cost of
sanctioned work to the IA and balance on the basis of progress of the work. Effective from
15 June, 2011, DA shall release 75% of the estimated cost in advance as Ist installment if IA
