Imphal, October 25 2009:
Even as the current fiscal is in its third quarter, the State Government is still unable to utilise not more than 14.10 percent of the total plan amount.
More surprisingly, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Department and Labour and Employment Department are yet to make any use of the plan amount allocated to them during the last fiscal.
Till the end of September, only Rs 281.96 crores have been utilised as against the plan amount of Rs 2000 crores sanctioned for the fiscal 2009-10, informed a source.
In case the respective departments could not utilise 60 percent of the funds allocated to them by December, the non-utilised amounts would be diverted to departments in need of funds during a review meeting likely to be held in December.
Except for Power and Fire Service Departments, other departments under which different projects would be taken up with funding from Special Plan Assistance (SPA) during the current fiscal year, are yet to submit detailed project reports to the Planning Commission, conveyed the source.
