G.O. (Ms.) No. 30, Koundanya Nadhi Irrigation Works, 2008
The Tamil Nadu Public Works (T1) Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No. 30 on 4 February 2008, granting administrative sanction of Rs.450.00 lakhs from State Funds for irrigation works across Koundanya Nadhi near Chittathur in Gudiyatham Taluk, Vellore District. It changes the funding arrangement under G.O. (Ms.) No. 168, Public Works Department, dated 15 September 2006, which had proposed NABARD loan assistance, while requiring State expenditure to be reimbursed and adjusted when that assistance is received.
What the government approved
The Tamil Nadu Public Works (T1) Department, through G.O. (Ms.) No. 30 dated 4 February 2008, granted administrative sanction of Rs.450.00 lakhs under State Funds for irrigation works across Koundanya Nadhi near Chittathur in Gudiyatham Taluk, Vellore District.
The approved works are:
- Providing a dividing wall below the existing aqueduct.
- Providing necessary energy dissipation arrangements.
- Constructing an anicut across Koundanya Nadhi near Chittathur.
Change in funding
G.O. (Ms.) No. 168, Public Works Department, dated 15 September 2006, had sanctioned Rs.450.00 lakhs under the Part II Scheme for 2006-2007, with loan assistance to be obtained from NABARD. The Chief Engineer, Public Works Department, Chennai Region, later reported that the scheme was essential and requested State funding because release of NABARD assistance would take more time.
G.O. (Ms.) No. 30 therefore permits the work to proceed using State Funds. The sanction remains subject to receipt of NABARD loan assistance. Expenditure initially met from State Funds must be reimbursed and suitably adjusted after the loan assistance is received.
Implementation and accounts
The Chief Engineer, Water Resources Organisation, Public Works Department, Chennai Region, was asked to incur the required expenditure from the provision available in the budget estimate for 2007-2008. The balance amount would be provided after that available provision was used.
The expenditure is assigned to the stated capital outlay head for major and medium irrigation, including the identified medium irrigation scheme and major works account. The Finance Department concurred through U.O. No. 5278PWII/2008 dated 30 January 2008.
