The PI Wing is headed by Deputy Director General (PI) reporting to the Additional Secretary. It has three Divisions:
Twenty Point Programme (TPP) Division: The Division monitors the implementation of Twenty Point Programme (TPP) which was initiated in the year 1975. The Programme was restructured in 2006 and the thrust of TPP-2006 is to eradicate poverty and improve the quality of life of the poor and the under privileged people all over the country. The Programme covers various socio-economic aspects like poverty, employment, education, housing, agriculture, drinking water, afforestation and environment protection, energy to rural areas, welfare of weaker sections of the society, etc. There are 65 items monitored under TPP-2006 which consists of 162 parameters. Out of these, 20 items are being monitored on monthly basis. The monthly information in respect of 16 items is collected from various States/UTs and for the remaining 4 items, the information is collected from concerned Central Nodal Ministries. The monitoring mechanism for TPP-2006 includes monitoring at Central, State, District and Block level.

Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS) Division: The Division looks after the MPLAD Scheme which was launched on 23rd December, 1993, to provide a mechanism for Members of Parliament to recommend works of developmental nature for creation of durable community assets based on local needs. The scheme addresses locally felt developmental and infrastructural needs of the community and bridges the gap for developmental works. Since its inception, the Scheme has benefited the local community by meeting various developmental needs such as drinking water facility, education, electricity, health and family welfare, irrigation, non-conventional energy, community centers, public libraries, bus stands/stops, roads, pathways and bridges, sports, etc. The works are recommended by the Hon’ble MPs and sanction, execution and monitoring of the works is undertaken by the District Authorities as per the administrative, technical and financial rules of the State Governments. The scheme is governed by a set of MPLADS guidelines. The annual entitlement per MP per year is Rs.5 crore with effect from 2011-12.
