The Tamil Nadu Government, Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (ST.2&E) Department, issued G.O.Ms.No.73 on 26 August 2016, sanctioning Rs. 13,95,000 for Crop Cutting Experiment Refresher Training during 2016 to 2017. The funding covers training in 385 blocks and at headquarters, and does not change land ownership, registration, classification or development rights.
Purpose and scope
The Tamil Nadu Government, Planning, Development and Special Initiatives (ST.2&E) Department, issued G.O.Ms.No.73 on 26 August 2016. It approves funding for refresher training connected with crop cutting experiments under the General Crop Estimation Survey for 2016 to 2017.
The Department of Economics and Statistics estimates the productivity and production of agricultural crops in Tamil Nadu through crop cutting experiments. It is designated as the State Agriculture Statistics Authority for planning and organising the survey. Refresher training is given to district field staff and supervising staff at the beginning of every Fasli year.
Funding approved
G.O.Ms.No.73 sanctions a total of Rs. 13,95,000 for training across 385 blocks and at headquarters.
Key provisions include:
- Rs. 3,600 is allocated for each block.
- Rs. 9,000 is allocated for headquarters.
- The annexure distributes the block funding across 31 listed districts.
- District allocations depend on the number of blocks listed for each district.
- Villupuram has the largest listed allocation, Rs. 79,200 for 22 blocks.
- The annexure totals 385 blocks and Rs. 13,95,000, including headquarters.
The expenditure is assigned to the specified government account for training under the Integrated Scheme for Development of Statistics.
Budget authority
G.O.Ms.No.73 states that additional funds of Rs. 13,04,000 will be provided through the Revised Estimate or Final Modified Appropriation for 2016 to 2017. Until that provision is made, the Principal Secretary and Commissioner, Department of Economics and Statistics, is authorised to incur the expenditure and must include it in the relevant budget proposals.
The document therefore contains two different figures. It sanctions Rs. 13,95,000, matching the annexure total, while the request and additional funding provision refer to Rs. 13,04,000.
