ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT
(SHRI RAM KRIPAL YADAV)
(a) to (d): Persondays generated under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) during the last three years and current year is 166.21 crore, 235.15 crore, 235.84 crore and 86.42 crore respectively for the year 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 (till 10.07.2017). Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin (PMAY-G) and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) essentially are not employment generation scheme; however, these schemes have direct and indirect bearing on employment generation. Rural Road Development Plan: Vision 2025 document estimates that 25 percent of PMGSY expenditure creates employment. The expenditure on PMAY-G results in derived demand for production, procurement and transportation of construction material which generates indirect employment.
The increase in expenditure and funds released to the States under these schemes during the last three years are given in the table below:
(Rs in crore)
Scheme 2014-15 2015-16 2016-17
MGNREGA 32476.87 36644.80 48387.16
PMAY-G 11096.96 10107.92 16058.71
PMGSY 9959.58 15186.71 16507.75
Total 53533.41 61939.43 80953.62
(e) & (f): Government has enhanced budgetary allocation of the Department of Rural Development for implementation of rural development schemes to Rs 1,05,405 crore for the year 2017-18 as against expenditure of Rs 95,096 crore in the year 2016-17.
