ANSWER: 2, 3
No new funds are allocated to this Yojana. Broadly, they could be classified as follows:
- Resources of fully tied schemes – centrally sponsored and State- such as IAY, PMGSY etc
- Resources which are partially tied and permit flexibility of use like MGNREGS, RKVY, NRLM, NHM, SSA etc.
- Resources which are largely untied such as BRGF, MPLADS etc which permit a great deal of flexibility to fill in critical gaps as required. Local Area Development Scheme of MLAs may also be tapped, subject to their consent
- Purely untied resources of the Gram Panchayats like own revenue, Central and State Finance Commission grants etc.
- Resources which could be mobilised locally in cash, kind and labour
- Corporate Social Responsibility funds
