40Uncorrected/ Not for publication- 08.12.2009Q.NO. 269( CONTD.)there is a big gap. At the same time, with the establishment of theCabinet Committee on Infrastructure and regular monitoring through thePrime Minister's Office in that Cabinet Committee, which is chaired bythe Prime Minister himself, some improvement is noticeable. Already,there is some slippage, which is visible. For instance, there is anexpectation, and, some sort of commitment has been made, with regardto construction of 20-kilometres road per day. If we want to construct20-kilometres road a day, naturally, in the pipeline, there should bealmost 20,000-kilometres road for the year so that we can complete it.20-kilometres a day means more than 7,000-kilometres a year, whichmeans a minimum of 14,000-kilometres in two years. The preparation ofthe project report in a road takes almost twelve to fourteen months.Therefore, an attempt should be made to reduce this period, and, atdifferent stages, these types of exercises are being made. Someimprovement has taken place but it is not to the desirable extent.SHRI TIRUCHI SIVA: Sir, while appreciating the target increase of theinvestment in physical infrastructure from five per cent of GDP to nineper cent of GDP, I would like to say that the share towards water supplyand sanitation is only 6.99 per cent, which aims at fulfilling the basicneeds of the common man. Would the Ministry of Finance considerenhancing the share towards water supply and sanitation?SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE: Sir, these targets are fixed by thePlanning Commission. The Planning Commission proposals areapproved by the NDC. The NDC consists of the State Chief Ministersand the Cabinet Ministers. Therefore, it is not possible for any individual

That mid-term course correction is possiblebut that will have to be done in consultation with the PlanningCommission.(Ends)(Followed by sk-1h)
