About This Dataset
Dataset covers district-wise details of MPLAD scheme utilisation.
Data Quality
The dataset contains 16 rows and 55 columns. Core data for recent parliamentary terms (post-2014) is highly consistent. Historical data for the late 20th century is largely absent (marked as 'N.a'), reflecting a shift in digital record-keeping and scheme implementation tracking.
Use Cases
Comparative analysis of MP activity across different terms, researching the history of local development in Punjab, and studies on political accountability and fund-based development performance.
Limitations
Significant data gaps exist for the pre-2014 era. The dataset provides counts of projects but does not categorize the nature of work (e.g., healthcare, infrastructure, education).
Methodology
Aggregated from official state-level project monitoring dashboards and administrative returns filed by District Planning and Development Offices (DPDO) in Punjab.
