Correlation of PDI to Per Capita Funds

Correlation of Thematic Score & Resource Envelope of the Gram Panchayats

This can be done and needs to be done, especially for the involvement of Departments. In the data available on Gram
Panchayat resource envelope that was shared by Ministry of Panchayati Raj, the correlation to activities and the
indicators and Themes was difficult to establish. (Annexure-IV-C). There is further work involved in correlating the
funds to the Themes, also based on components of activities. At a broad level it can be done, quite easily and
Departments can see their work and resources to the Gram Panchayat and the indicator scores. It was hence felt better for
such information to come from the Gram Panchayat and that is also a reason the Gram Panchayat spending on the Theme

has been added in as an Indicator in each Theme.

Own Source Revenue is at the discretion of the GP, and can be best deployed for its basic and most important areas of
work. A comparison of PDI, Total Resource Envelope and Own Source Revenue (OSR) was done.
