There are two ways to check your MP’s contribution to your constituency in India.

MPLADs

In India, we have something called the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) funds. These funds are allocated to MPs for development projects in their respective constituencies. By tracking this data, you can check whether your MP’s words match his actions.

To track MPLADs fund utilization, you can go to the MPLADS website and generate MP-wise statements.

Please note there might be a lag in the data presented on the website. This means the data might not be the latest. However, you can get an inkling of how much funds were utilized by the MP for the development of your constituency.

I wish the website also displayed the exact work the MP did. Unfortunately, there is no way to know.

MP’s Performance in Parliament

Another highly useful website to check your MP’s performance in parliament is the PRS Website. You can search for your Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha MP and analyze his parliamentary activity, attendance, questions raised, etc.

Tip

If you have difficulty understanding any of the terms used in the websites, use an AI bot like ChatGPT or Gemini to explain the terms to you.

Here’s to more informed voting!

If you use any other website to analyze an MP’s performance, let us know in the comments section below.
