Imphal, December 07 2011:
The Finance Department of the state has advised all state government departments to submit the list of the plan proposal draft for the year 2012-13 for further submission to the Planning Commission of India.
A joint meeting of all top officials of all departments and officials of the Planning Department will also be held shortly in this regard.
Official source from the Finance department revealed that the process of submission of plan proposal draft for the year 2012-13 has been started.
The Planning Department will prepare the Plan proposal and further submit it to the Planning Commission of India, after all the government departments have submitted their plan proposal draft to the Planning department.
The plan proposal draft will be submitted at the official level even if the election code of conduct comes into effect by February 2012 .
The source further revealed that with the increase in the number of government employees and the implementation of the 6th pay Commission, the non plan expenditure will increase.
This needs to be reflected in the non plan.
Meanwhile, another official source revealed that during the year 2006-07, the number of government employees was 61,560.Since then the number has increased by 20,000 and at present the total number of government employees has reached 80,000.Police Department, Education Department, Health Department and District Council account for most of this increase in the number of employees.
The largest number of employees recruited recently is the police department, which is now the largest recruiter of employees among all state departments.
The source further said that with the increase in the number of government employees and implementation of the 6th pay commission thus leading to increase in the pay structure of the employees, the non plan infrastructure has also increased.
If these increments are not reflected in the non plan budget of the coming financial year, financial problems will arise in later period.
The monthly salaries of the government employees who are on contract basis are also paid from the plan budget.
