• The Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) allows for a range of public works that cater to local development needs.

• This includes the construction of community assets like libraries, schools, and shelters for vulnerable populations.

• It also covers essential public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and water and drainage systems.

• The emphasis is on projects that benefit the general public and improve the quality of life in the constituency.

• Personal or commercial property development is outside the ambit of this scheme.
