Introduction
¥ÀjZÀAiÀÄ
Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) allows the
legislators (MPs) get a chance to don the role of executive by choosing and
allocating development works. Each MP is allocated Rs. 5 Crores per annum
currently, while till last year it was Rs. 2 Crores per annum. With such a huge
amount at the disposal of each MP, it is often assumed that it would be used
completely.

Against this backdrop, Public Affairs Centre (PAC) launched a study on MPLADS
to understand and analyse the utilisation pattern among the MPs ( Sabha &
Rajya Sabha) in Karnataka. The present study looked at variations in MPLADS
spending by various criteria, such as backward and forward regions, education
qualifications of MPs, extent of experience of MPs, among other factors.

Many MPs did not bother to utilise the MPLAD fund fully. Some members from
Rajya Sabha did not even initiate spending under MPLADS. Only two MPs from
14thLok Sabha (2004-09) utilised 100 per cent of funds under MPLADS. At a
time when MPs are not even utilising Rs. 2 Crore per annum completely, it is
interesting to note that the same has been increased to Rs. 5 Crore per annum.
