JAMMU, Mar 5: The State Government was expected to facilitate construction of smokeless chulas, sanitary, latrines, electricity connections but the Rural Development Department (RDD) had failed to meet the expectations of Union Government.
For the purpose there was to be convergence of IAY, with activities and funds provided under the total sanitation campaign (TSC), RGGVY, MGNREGS, NRDWP and SGSY. The audit observed the department had failed to interlink these programmes with IAY so that the possible benefits under these programmes could be extended to the beneficiaries. The BDOs stated that no instructions in this regard had been received from the higher authorities. The Joint Director (P) stated (September 2013) that all the instructions received from the Government of India were being passed on to the filed agencies for implementation of the schemes. |
