(a) & (b): Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme and one of the flagship programmes of the Ministry of Minority Affairs. The Scheme aims to create community infrastructure and strengthen basic civic amenities in identified Minority Concentration Areas across the country. The projects undertaken under the Scheme cover sectors such as education, health, skill development, women-centric facilities, drinking water and sanitation, sports, renewable energy, and other community infrastructure.

The State-wise details of proposals received from the State Governments/Union Territory Administrations and the projects approved under PMJVK during the last five years are provided in Annexure-I.(c) to (f): The scheme is implemented across all districts of the country. Under the scheme, projects can be proposed in areas having a minority population of more than 25% within a 15 km radius, subject to the provisions of the PMJVK Guidelines. Such proposals are recommended by the State Level Committee (SLC), chaired by the Chief Secretary of the respective State/Union Territory, based on the demand for infrastructure development in the eligible areas.

The scheme does not notify or maintain a district-wise list of eligible districts.

Eligibility is determined at the area level, based on the criterion of more than 25% minority population within a 15 km radius, in accordance with the PMJVK Guidelines During the last five years, no new project and no funds have been sanctioned for any new projects under PMJVK in the State of Andhra Pradesh. However, an amount of Rs. 8.76 crore has been released to the State for the implementation of ongoing PMJVK projects during the said period.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh has submitted 7 projects comprising 26 units, with a total project cost of Rs. 101.88 crore, for consideration under the PMJVK in 2025-26.

The PMJVK scheme is however, presently approved up to 31st March 2026. *****Annexure-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN POINT (A) & (B) OF REPLY TO LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2783 FOR ANSWER ON 05.08.2026 REGARDING PRADHAN MANTRI JAN VIKAS KARYAKRAMASKED BY SHRI KESINENI SIVANATH.
