The upper-house companion to the Lok Sabha Question Registry and the Quarterly Reportage: what the Rajya Sabha asked about these same schemes, with the ministry's answer of record. All three views are classified by one scheme-keyword map, so they filter identically. Use it to find the answer, then read the answer. The underlying data analysis and build scripts are backed up at github.com/herrrickshaw.

Method. Harvested from the rsdoc.nic.in per-question index by subject keyword (same keyword lists as the Lok Sabha registry, from 2019), then classified against the same scheme-regex map and acronym-veto list as the Quarterly Reportage — so “Sanchar Mitra” does not file under PM MITRA and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad does not file under the Semiconductor Mission here either.

Known limits, stated rather than hidden. The index matches keywords against the subject line only, so a question whose subject names no scheme is not captured even when its answer discusses one at length — coverage is of scheme-titled questions, not of every mention. Ministries answer as of their date; figures in older answers are superseded by newer ones. A row whose subject has nothing to do with its chip (the coloured scheme tag shown in the table) is a classification bug, not a parliamentary fact.

Why starred vs. unstarred matters. A starred question is one the member has flagged for an oral answer on the floor of the House, which also opens it to follow-up supplementary questions from other members in real time — the government has to defend the number, not just table it. An unstarred question gets a written answer laid on the table with no floor debate. Of the 1,883 questions captured here, only 141 (7.5%) were starred; the other 1,742 (92.5%) went the written route. That split is a genuine signal, not just a procedural footnote: a scheme that draws mostly written questions is being tracked quietly, ministry-to-member, while a scheme drawing a disproportionate share of the 141 starred slots is one members consider worth a public floor exchange — oral answers are a scarcer, contested slot in the House's own calendar, so a scheme that keeps attracting them is, by revealed preference, a live political concern rather than a routine ask.

How this blog actually uses this registry. This isn't a standalone reference tool — it's the index this blog's own articles are built from. Dozens of posts on this blog cite a specific Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha written reply as their primary source for a scheme's actual disbursement figures (as opposed to its announced outlay); finding the right reply, among thousands filed since 2019, is exactly the search problem this registry and its Lok Sabha and Quarterly-Reportage companions were built to solve. Where an article elsewhere on this blog states that a scheme's payout lags its approved budget, the parliamentary reply behind that claim was very likely surfaced through this same keyword-and-regex classification pipeline, not read cold off sansad.in.
