This document summarizes the response provided by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) to Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 3562, answered on August 11, 2025, regarding the allocation of funds for environmental, forest, and climate change schemes in Madhya Pradesh.
The MoEFCC implements both Central Sector (CS) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) nationwide for the protection of the environment, forests, and wildlife. In Madhya Pradesh, funds are allocated under these schemes through two primary mechanisms: direct release of CS funds to implementing agencies and financial assistance to the Government of Madhya Pradesh under CSS, with cost-sharing between the Centre and the State. The State Governments and their agencies are responsible for implementing and monitoring all works under these schemes.
