The objective of this Scheme is to fill the gaps existing in the provision of infrastructure through various Central and State schemes thereby enabling wholesome development. A sum of Rs.2 crore is allotted per Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) per year for taking up developmental works identified by the concerned M.P. In the case of Lok Sabha, the scheme is implemented in the districts falling within the constituency of the concerned MP. In the case of Rajya Sabha, the MP can suggest works in one or more districts within the State from which he is elected. As far as the nominated MPs are concerned, they can suggest works anywhere in India. The District Collector gives administrative sanction for the works. The guidelines contain a ‘negative list’ of works not permitted under this scheme and also an illustrative list of works that may be taken up. Under the scheme, all maintenance works of any type are prohibited. Desilting of ponds, rivers, tanks, canals etc. are also treated as maintenance activities and cannot be taken up under MPLADS.
