Purpose
G.O.(D).No.44 dated 6 February 2017 was issued by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.2) Department. It releases the remaining State contribution for new rural road connectivity and road upgrades under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana Phase VIII (2012-13) and Bharat Nirman Phase III.
The road works were to be executed by the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department and the Highways and Minor Ports Department.
Financial background
G.O.(D).No.44 records that the original administrative sanction covered road works costing Rs.1130.10 crore and maintenance costing Rs.66.84 crore. The original project funding included:
- Government of India share of Rs.1021.15 crore.
- State share of Rs.108.95 crore.
- Allocation of Rs.95.25 crore to the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department.
- Allocation of Rs.13.70 crore to the Highways and Minor Ports Department.
Three road works were later removed from the approved list because they had been taken up under another scheme. After their deletion, the project cost was recalculated as Rs.1128.74 crore, comprising a Central share of Rs.1019.87 crore and a State contribution of Rs.108.87 crore.
The document also records that the Government of India changed the funding pattern for ongoing schemes from 100 per cent Central funding to a 60:40 Central and State pattern from 1 April 2015.
Amount released and administration
G.O.(D).No.44 accepts the request of the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to release Rs.3.97 crore instead of Rs.4.05 crore. The reduction reflects the deletion of the three road works and the recalculated State contribution.
Key directions are:
- Rs.3.97 crore is released as the balance State share.
- The Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, Chennai, may draw and disburse the amount.
- Expenditure is assigned to the stated capital outlay account for rural road and bridge works under Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Bharat Nirman.
- The Finance Department concurred with the release.
