What the government approved
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department, through Government Order G.O. (Ms.) No.117 dated 27 October 2017, gives administrative sanction for a statewide rural infrastructure programme. It covers improvement of 509 rural roads in 29 districts and construction of 40 bridges in 7 districts during 2017 to 2018.
The sanctioned works are listed in an annexure by district, block, work name, reach, length and updated cost. Examples in the supplied annexure include roads in Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur and Cuddalore districts.
Funding and further approvals
Government Order G.O. (Ms.) No.117 records the following financial arrangement:
- Total estimated project cost is Rs.316.3249 crore.
- The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development loan component is 80 percent of the total cost.
- The State Government share is 20 percent.
- The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development Project Sanctioning Committee sanctioned Rs.25305.92 lakhs.
- Financial sanction and release of funds for the works are to be covered by separate orders.
Administrative sanction therefore approves the programme, but the document does not itself provide the later fund release orders.
Implementation controls
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (SGS.1) Department assigns implementation oversight to the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj. Key directions are:
- Monitor the works closely.
- Maintain construction quality according to existing specifications and norms.
- Issue detailed instructions to the District Collectors concerned.
- Confirm before tender finalisation that the sanctioned works are not included under another Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Department scheme or a scheme of another department.
