How to Boost Community Development Using MPLADS Funds via the eSAKSHI Portal :
The Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) offers a powerful path for NGOs and local groups to bring socially useful projects to life — from village libraries, ambulances, solar-lamp installations, to community education centres. Under revised guidelines, projects implemented by government agencies may receive 75% funding upfront; those by NGOs may get 60%, and small yet essential projects (like solar lamps, community libraries, ambulances) can even be considered for 100% upfront release. To tap into this, NGOs should draft a clear project plan and cost estimate, define community benefit, and consult with their area’s MP or local MP + district collector. Collaboration and coordination between MP, district authority and implementing agency is vital to ensure the project gets recommended, sanctioned, funded and executed properly.
The recent introduction of eSAKSHI web portal (and its companion mobile application) has made the process more transparent and efficient. Through eSAKSHI, MP recommendations, district sanctioning and on-ground execution flow seamlessly on a single digital platform. Real-time tracking, dashboards and easy online sanctioning reduce delays and improve accountability. NGOs with goodwill ideas — be it rural education, solar-light initiatives, small libraries, health-related services or rural entrepreneurship — can use this masterclass approach: prepare a solid project plan, consult local MP and District Collector, submit under MPLADS with eSAKSHI, and with coordination and social intent, transform the plan into real community benefit.
