| J&K govt to set up road map on block-level fund distribution | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 26 : To financially empower Panchayati Raj institutions, Jammu and Kashmir government will come out with a roadmap for block level distribution of funds from within the district plan in the state. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today approved roping in a consultant for formulating the roadmap for block level distribution of funds from within the district plan based on the parameters of population, backward indices and potential.
This step has been taken as part of the initiative to empower panchayats and ensure devolution of functions, functionaries and funds to these grassroots level democratic institutions in J&K. The consultants so engaged will spell out the percentage of allocations of resources to each block from within the district plan, Omar said. It would also help in implementation of State Finance Commission Report which has worked out criterion for district plan allocation and its distribution, he said.
There was a need for moving ahead with block level distribution of funds from within the district plan based on the parameters of population, backwardness and potential of the area and consultancy will smooth the process in this regard. The Chief Minister also approved creation of 1,083 posts of Village Level Workers (VLWs) for effective functioning of panchayats in the state. Each VLW acts as secretary of the panchayat, records the minutes of the panchayat proceedings, convenes gram sabha, discharges administrative and financial functions. There are 4,139 panchayats in the state with 3,056 VLWs. By the creation of 1083 posts, the gap in the availability of VLWs to man the panchayats is now filled up. |
