MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PANCHAYATI RAJ
(SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)
(a) No. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is implementing e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) wherein a suite of Core Common Applications, collectively known as Panchayat Enterprise Suite (PES) has been developed to address various aspects of Panchayats’ functioning including planning, budgeting, implementation, accounting, monitoring, delivery of citizen services like issue of certificates, licences etc.
(b) Does not arise.
(c) The level of adoption of various PES Applications at panchayat level varies across States / UTs due to differentials in the preparedness of panchayats for e-enablement. The State/UT wise adoption status of PES applications is given at Annexure. Besides, some States have also developed their own State-specific applications for similar purposes.
