(a): Ministries/Departments of the Government of India conduct evaluation studies for their schemes/programmes and NITI Aayog also conducts concurrent evaluations of selected programmes/schemes. Besides this, in States, the State evaluation offices conduct evaluations of prominent schemes/programmes. Guidelines are in-place to spell out Evaluation arrangement in the scheme/programme. Further, continuation of schemes from one period to another is not permissible without a third party evaluation. List of programmes evaluated by the Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office, NITI Aayog is attached as Annexure-I.
(b)&(c): The funds are allocated in the Expenditure Budget to the different Ministries/Departments in a scheme-wise manner and the Ministries/Departments monitor the release and utilization of funds as per the specific scheme guidelines. Most of the ministries and departments are using the Direct Benefit Transfer platform for seamless and expeditious flow of benefits to the last mile beneficiaries. The overall expenditure profile of the Budget documents of the financial years 2015-16 (Actual), 2016-17 (Actual) and 2017-18 (RE) are as below:
