NEW DELHI: The Standing Committee on Rural Development has observed in its 29th report that the percentage hike in allocation of outlay has declined after 2005-06.
It says, "As against the hike of 37.62 per cent during 2005-06 and 23.69 per cent during 2006-07, the hike is just 13.28 per cent during the year 2007-08."
Apart from this it observes that the outlay allocated is 33 per cent less than the projected outlay of the department of rural development.
It adds that "there is reduction of outlay under some of the schemes like Sampoorna Gramin Rozgar Yojana (SGRY), Council for Advancement of People's Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) and District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) administration."
However Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh in a statement in Rajya Sabha on the status of implementation of committee's recommendations during the current budget session, has said that the budget estimates (BE) indicate growth in allocation of funds.
"The trend of budget estimates during the last four years in respect of department of rural development indicates that there has been a consistent increase in the allocation of funds," he said.
In support of his statement, he told Rajya Sabha that in 2004-05, the budget estimates were Rs 11,437.40 crore, which was increased to Rs 18,334 crore in 2005-06, representing an increase of 60.3 per cent.
