THE MINISTER OF PANCHAYATI RAJ (SHRI V. KISHORE CHANDRA DEO)
(a) The Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) is supplementing the efforts of the States/UTs
by providing funds under e-enablement component of Rajiv Gandhi Panchayat Sashaktikaran
Abhiyan (RGPSA) @ Rs. 40,000 per Gram Panchayat for computers, Uninterrupted Power Supply
(UPS), printer etc. subject to eligibility conditions. MoPR has also provided 10 software
Applications under e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) that seek to transform the
functioning of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), making them more transparent, accountable,
efficient and effective as organs of decentralized self – governing institutions.
(b) Due to differentials in levels of availability of infrastructure as well as preparedness
of the States/UTs for e-enablement, no time frame has been set for computerisation of all the Panchayats in the country.
