JAMMU, June 24: Putting a rider the Planning and Development Department has asked all the government departments, not to take any new project/scheme or work for execution this financial year, unless 25 percent funds are available and earmarked for execution.
Sources in P&DD informed Early Times that in a recent communique forwarded to all the government departments, the P&DD has made it clear that thrust during the current financial year would be on completion of the approved ongoing projects/schemes. "No new scheme/project/work shall be taken up for execution unless 25 percent funds are available and earmarked for its execution during the current financial year", the communique read.
Sources also informed that the P&DD has also made it clear that if any scheme is taken without provisioning adequate funds, the responsibility of same would lie with the Administrative Secretary/Head of Department/District Development Commissioner and the concerned District Officer in respect of state sector. "Similarly under the district sector, it will be the responsibility of District Development Commissioner", sources said.
Moreover stressing on the rationalization of schemes, sources said, the P&DD has asked all the departments to carry out a comprehensive exercise to remove duplication/replication of schemes to ensure completion and consolidation of ongoing schemes in order to make their plans objective oriented. "Departments are also advised to weed out schemes which have minimal effect on the development outputs", sources said.
Sources further informed that the P&DD has also asked implementing agencies to use 33 percent of current year allocation of Capex budget for completing approved ongoing works/ schemes requiring 50 lakhs for their completion.
"The implementing agencies can also use upto 1/3rd of current year allocation of Capex Budget to clear liabilities on account of approved ongoing works funded under Special Plan Assistance (SPA) /Normal capital in the last year's plan budget for which the bills were presented to the Treasuries but could not be honoured till ending of last financial year", sources said.
Taking a total shift from previous practice, sources said, from the current financial year the state government has prepared a Revenue Expenditure budget to be funded by the Finance department and Capital Expenditure Budget to be allocated and monitored by Planning and Development Department.
