Patna, (Bihar Times): The fund utilization in the
current financial year is far from satisfactory: only
42 per cent in the nine months.
According to reports till January 31 last an amount of
Rs 4,874.59 crore was spent against the plan outlay of
Rs 11542 crore. |
|
The Panchayati Raj Department is the worst offender.
It spent only 0.81 per cent till now. On the other
hand the performance of the Human Resources
Development department is the best: it had spent 70
per cent of its fund. The road construction department
had spent 68 per cent of its Rs 2350 crore allocation
while the rural works department about Rs 1022 crore,
that is, 65 per cent of its Rs 1568.33 crore.
The electricity department could utilize only 21 per
cent and the PHED 24.5 per cent. The rural department
spent 38 per cent and urban development department
just Rs 103 crore of its Rs 692 crores, that is just
less than 15 per cent. The water resources deparment
and the minor water resources deparment had spent only
30 per cent of the fund.
In spite of this poor performance the Planning
Commission had recently shown generosity towards the
state.
