G.O.(Ms).No.141, Construction of 50 Milk Collection Centres, 2019
The Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department issued G.O.(Ms).No.141 dated 24 September 2019, sanctioning 50 rural Milk Collection Centres under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for 2019-20 at a total cost of Rs.6.79 crore. The centres are intended to support rural milk producers and farmers, but financial sanction is subject to release of the Central Government share.
What the government approved
G.O.(Ms).No.141 dated 24 September 2019 of the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (CGS.1) Department accepts the proposal of the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj to construct 50 Milk Collection Centres. The work is sanctioned under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme for 2019-20, with a total estimated cost of Rs.6.79 crore.
The centres are permitted for the collection, storage, value addition and marketing of milk for the benefit of milk producers and farmers in rural areas. The government also approved guidelines and required the prescribed type design, non-negotiable items and technical specifications to be followed without change.
Cost and funding
G.O.(Ms).No.141 fixes the unit cost of each Milk Collection Centre at Rs.13.57 lakh. The funding calculation for all 50 centres is:
- Total material component: Rs.6.21 crore.
- Central Government share of material cost: Rs.4.66 crore.
- State Government share of material cost: Rs.1.55 crore.
- Labour component: Rs.0.58 crore.
- Total project cost: Rs.6.79 crore.
The Government of India bears the full labour cost. Material costs are shared in the ratio of 75:25 between the Government of India and the State Government. The Rural Schedule of Rates for 2019-20 is to be used for the work.
Who is affected
G.O.(Ms).No.141 primarily concerns rural milk producers and farmers who may use the proposed centres. It also directs the Director of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, District Collectors except the Chennai District Collector, and Project Directors of District Rural Development Agencies involved in implementation.
The document does not identify the villages, survey numbers or individual land parcels where the centres will be built. It therefore does not, by itself, show that a particular buyer's or owner's property is affected.
Important condition
G.O.(Ms).No.141 makes the financial sanction conditional on release of the Central Government share. The document records administrative approval for the 50 centres, but the funding condition must be met before financial sanction is approved.
