WORKS ALLOTTED TO SULABH INTERNATIONAL UNDER MPLAD SCHEME

---

LOK SABHA

In accordance with the provisions in Para 2.1 of the Guidelines of Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme implementing agencies can be either Government or Panchayati Raj Institutions or any other reputed non-Governmental organizations that may be considered by the District Heads as capable of implementing the works satisfactorily. Therefore, works under MPLADS can be entrusted to Sulabh International, an NGO, if the District Head considers this organization to be a reputed one and capable of implementing the works satisfactorily.

Information regarding works awarded to individual implementing agencies is not centrally maintained and the Ministry has not received any report from State Governments/District Heads regarding blacklisting of Sulabh International.

This information was given by Shri Vijay Goel, Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation in a written reply to a question by Shri Dilip Kumar Mansukhlal Gandhi in Lok Sabha today.
