ANSWER THE MINISTER OF MINORITY AFFAIRS (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU) (a) The Pradhan Mantri Jan Vikas Karyakram (PMJVK) is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme of the Ministry of Minority Affairs aimed at creating community infrastructure in Minority Concentration Areas across sectors such as education, health, skill development, women-centric projects, drinking water and sanitation, sports, renewable energy and other community infrastructure. Projects under PMJVK are implemented by the respective State Governments/Union Territory Administrations, which are responsible for their execution and completion within the approved timelines. In some cases, delays have occurred due to land-related issues, delays in tendering, adverse weather conditions, change of project sites, and delayed release of the corresponding State share.The State-wise details of schools, colleges and hospitals that remain incomplete or pending during the last five years, including those in Uttar Pradesh, are provided in Annexure-I. No PMJVK project is pending for completion in Jaunpur district, including the Jaunpur Lok Sabha Constituency. (b) Under PMJVK, the operation, maintenance and functionalisation of completed infrastructure are the responsibility of the respective State Governments/UT Administrations. The Ministry of Minority Affairs does not maintain data on completed schools, colleges, hostels or hospitals that remain non-functional due to shortage of staff, lack of equipment or non-transfer to the State Government. Accordingly, such information is not available with the Ministry. (c) PMJVK is implemented in accordance with the financial guidelines of the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. From FY 2021-22 onwards, funds have been released to States under the Single Nodal Agency (SNA) framework as a lump-sum allocation, forming a common pool from which States utilise funds for approved PMJVK projects based on project readiness, implementation requirements and administrative priorities. Further, with effect from 1st July 2025, PMJVK has been integrated with the SNA-SPARSH platform, under which funds are released through a Just-in-Time (JIT) mechanism based on actual expenditure requirements. During the last three financial years, Rs. 285.00 crore has been released to the State of Uttar Pradesh under PMJVK and Utilization Certificates of Rs. 392.85 crore is pending. The State-wise details of funds released during the last three financial years are provided in Annexure-II. (d) Project implementation and fund utilisation under PMJVK are monitored through the PMJVK Portal and the PMJVK-NIGRANI Mobile Application, which facilitate digital monitoring of physical and financial progress, project status, expenditure, utilisation of funds, submission of Utilisation Certificates (UCs), geo-tagged photographs, and State-wise, District-wise and Sector-wise MIS reports. Since July 2025, monitoring has been further strengthened through the SNA-SPARSH platform, enabling Just-in-Time fund releases and real-time tracking under the Single Nodal Agency system. Projects exhibiting significant delays, low fund utilisation or reporting gaps are regularly reviewed through digital monitoring, review meetings at the State and National levels, and field inspections by Ministry officials. Based on these reviews, the concerned State Governments/UT Administrations are advised to address implementation bottlenecks and expedite project completion. Since the execution of PMJVK projects rests with the respective State Governments/UT Administrations, any punitive action against defaulting construction agencies is taken by the concerned State Government/UT Administration in accordance with the terms of the contract and applicable rules. *****Annexure-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO POINT (A) IN REPLY TO LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2912 FOR ANSWER ON 05.08.2026 REAGARDING “PRADHAN MANTRI JAN VIKAS KARYAKRAM” ASKED BY SHRI NEERAJ MAURYA, MS.
