AMENDMENTS TO GUIDELINES ON MPLADS


Funds under the MPLAD Scheme are released to the concerned District Collector who has to get the works recommended by the MP implemented as per established procedure of the State Government. The District Collector and the implementing agencies are responsible for proper use of the funds released to them. Whenever any representation is received about improper use of MPLADS funds, the matter is taken up with the concerned District Collector/State Government for remedial measures. Amendment/modification of the guidelines on MPLADS is a continuous process. Amendments/modifications in the guidelines are made from time to time on the basis of recommendation from the two committees on MPLADS, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation, Smt. Maneka Gandhi in the written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
