Haryana State Draft Annual Plan 1983-84 Volume 1 (Brief Memorandum Alongwith G.N. and Other Statemetns)

Abstract

From Introduction: The approved outlay for Haryana’s Sixth Plan (1980-85) is Rs 1800 crore. An expenditure of Rs. 245.86 crore was incurred during 1980-81 and Rs. 288.63 crore during 1981-82. The approved outlay for 1982-83 is Rs. 319.98 crore. In this outlay the provision for Satluj Yamuna Link Canal was only Rs. 8 crore. In December 1981 a decision was taken to complete this canal within two years. Consequently the requirement of funds was worked out and it was found that Rs. 67 crore would be required for this project during 1982-83. An exercise to find additional funds within the over all ceiling of Rs. 319.98 crore has already been undertaken and it has been decided to divert Rs. 11 crore from schemes under Major and Medium Irrigation and Flood Control projects by rephasing the completion schedule of certain schemes. A request for Special Central Assistance of Rs 25 crore for this project has been sent by our Chief Minister on 12.9.82, to the Union Irrigation Minister. Efforts are being made to provide the remaining amount from the State’s own resources.
