The MPLADS is a central sector scheme fully funded by the Govt. of India, first launched in 1993.The scheme enables Hon’ble MPs to recommend works of developmental nature with emphasis on creation of durable assets in areas of drinking water, primary education, public health, sanitation, roads etc primarily in their constituencies.

             The scheme is governed by a set guidelines which were first issued in 1994  with an annual allocation of Rs.5 (lakh) per annum, enhanced to Rs.1 (Crore) per annum in 1994-95 and thereafter Rs. 2 (Crore) per annum in 1998-99 and then fixed at Rs.5 (Crore) per annum w.e.f the financial year 2011-12.

There have been several modifications of the guidelines from time to time and several corrigendum have been issued, the latest of which was done in 2016. Recently, the new revised Guidelines has been made effective from 01-04-2023 to broaden the scope of the scheme and has been made more inclusive so as to enable the Hon’ble MPs to recommend developmental works as per the changing needs of the community with an emphasis on improving the functioning, implementation and monitoring of the MPLAD scheme. The new revised rules will enable MPs to recommend developmental works as per the requirement of their constituency.

          To bring in greater transparency and accountability in the system, the entire process of fund flow has been   made IT based and will operate through web portal (E-sakshi portal)which will facilitate real-time monitoring, greater transparency and accountability in the system, and improved efficiency and effectiveness of the MPLAD Scheme.
