Par panel approves MPLAD funds for SC/STs on slums
Last Updated: Thursday, December 15, 2011, 22:30

New Delhi: A Parliamentary Committee on MPs Local Area Development
Scheme has recommended that MPLAD funds earmarked for SC/ST areas may
be utilised for slums or other such deprived areas in towns and cities
since housing was a major problem there.

The Lok Sabha Committee on MPs Local Area Development Scheme (2111-12)
headed by A K S Vijayan, presented its report to the Lok Sabha today
on "Development of SC/ST areas through MPLADS funds", recommended that
MPLADS funds be utilised according to the SC/ST population in
constituencies.

Where there are difficulties in identifying definite pockets of SCs
and STs, construction of cluster of houses may be permitted under the
scheme in slums or other such deprived areas, the Committee
recommended in view of the fact of housing being a major problem in
slums.

The Committee also recommended that a database of identified works be
made available on the website of MPLADS by nodal departments of states
and district authorities in identifying the works recommended under
the scheme.
