Output-Outcome Monitoring Framework to Oversee Central Schemes

12 Feb 2026 CW Team

Targets and progress of Central Sector (CS) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) outputs and outcomes are tracked by the respective Ministries and Departments. OOMF based monitoring enables Ministries and Departments to review scheme performance against key performance indicators and to take appropriate actions to improve implementation strategies. The arrangement aims to strengthen accountability and to provide a structured basis for assessing delivery of outcomes.

Ministries and Departments are guided by recommendations from evaluation study reports to strengthen the design and delivery mechanisms of their schemes. The use of evaluation findings is intended to inform corrective measures and to refine scheme architecture over time. The framework also supports a common methodology for outcome reporting across different sectors and programmes.

The information was provided in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha by the Minister of State, Independent Charge, of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation; the Minister of State, Independent Charge, of the Ministry of Planning; and the Minister of State in the Ministry of Culture, Rao Inderjit Singh. The reply outlined the routine preparation and parliamentary laying of the OOMF and the role of the DMEO in coordinating with line Ministries and Departments. Officials indicated that the framework will continue to be presented alongside the Union Budget to support outcome based budgeting and scheme oversight.

The Output-Outcome Monitoring Framework (OOMF) is the performance monitoring framework for Government of India schemes and is coordinated by the Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO), NITI Aayog. The office works with Ministries and Departments to prepare the annual OOMF for their schemes. The document is presented in Parliament alongside the Union Budget each year as an Outcome Budget for all schemes with an annual outlay of Rs five billion (bn) or more. The respective Ministry or Department lays before Parliament the OOMF for schemes with a budget outlay of less than Rs five billion (bn) along with their Detailed Demand for Grants.
