Purpose and Utilization of the Grants

The Ministry of Panchayati Raj, in collaboration with the Ministry of Jal Shakti, facilitates the release of these grants. The funds are disbursed in two installments per financial year and are designed to address the location-specific needs of rural local bodies.

Untied Grants: These funds can be used by Rural Local Bodies and Panchayati Raj Institutions for a wide range of activities under the 29 subjects listed in the Eleventh Schedule of the Indian Constitution. However, these grants cannot be used for salaries or establishment costs.

Tied Grants: Allocated for specific basic services such as:

Sanitation and maintaining Open Defecation Free (ODF) status, including management and treatment of household waste, human excreta, and fecal sludge.

Supply of drinking water, rainwater harvesting, and water recycling.

Government’s Commitment to Strengthening Rural Governance

The release of these grants underscores the Government of India’s ongoing commitment to empower local self-governments and enhance rural infrastructure and services. By entrusting funds directly to Panchayati Raj Institutions, the government aims to promote decentralized decision-making and ensure better delivery of essential services at the grassroots level.
