MPLADS

Subject : Government Schemes

Context : Restore MPLADS funds to assist Covid and cyclone victims: AdhirRanjan Chowdhury to PM Modi

Concept :

  • The MPLAD scheme was formulated in 1993 to enable Members of Parliament (MPs) to recommend development works in their constituencies with emphasis on the creation of durable community assets based on the locally felt need.
  • Durable assets of national priorities and community needs viz. drinking water, primary education, public health, sanitation and roads, etc.
  • Initially, the Scheme was under the control of the Ministry of Rural Development and Planning.
  • In October, 1994, the scheme was transferred to the Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation.
  • Under this scheme,every MP is entitled to spend Rs 5 crore annually.
  • Similar to MPLADS, several states have enacted schemes called Member of Legislative Assembly Local Area Development Scheme (MLALADS) where funds are given to MLAs.
  • MPLAD funds can also be used for implementation of the schemes such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan), conservation of water through rain water harvesting and SansadAadarsh Gram Yojana, etc.
