The Ministry of Panchayati Raj is implementing e-Panchayat Mission Mode Project (MMP) that addresses core aspects of Panchayats’ functioning viz. Planning, Monitoring, Implementation, Budgeting, Accounting, Social Audit etc., with the aim to make their functioning more efficient, accountable and transparent. Imparting computer education at village level is not sought to be achieved through this Mission Mode Project.
In so far as providing ICT infrastructure, including computers to Panchayats under this MMP is concerned, the States have been advised to utilize available funds from other sources such as 13th Central Finance Commission Grants, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF), Rashtriya Gram Swaraj Yojana (RGSY) etc.
This information was given by the Minister of Panchayati Raj, Shri V. Kishore Chandra Deo in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
