FUNDS ALLOCATION WITHIN THE DISTRICT
Based on the above mentioned processes, analysis and justifications, funds have been
allocated to different Sectors/ Areas as per the details given in Summary of the Plan proposal.
The allocation of funds has been made to the Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti and Gram
Panchayat levels and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), taking into account the visioning exercise
and prioritization of development goals in the district. The allocation is based on the focus and
priority areas as listed out in the District Plan. The Critical gaps have been identified with
respect to funding from other sources and the immediate priorities of the district. Accordingly,
the projects to be taken up under the BRGF 2007- 08 have been formulated.
PRINCIPLES OF FUND ALLOCATION
In case of interventions that can be implemented in the entire district within the
proposed outlay of funds, equal distribution of funds has been proposed. However, in case of
intervention that has to be taken up in a phased manner, backward/vulnerable GPs in TDA /
schedule area have been taken in the first Phase and the rest GPs will be covered under BRGF
during the 11 th \ 12 th Plan Period based on Backwardness Index.
Gram Panchayat: There are 475 GPs in the district and if funds are divided amongst all the
GPs, then the funds will be so thinly spread that it be difficult to bridge critical gaps. Hence it
was decided to take up GPs in a phased manner throughout the BRGF plan period. GPs have
been ranked based on backwardness under BI prepared at the district level. This BI has been
prepared based on % of SC, ST, BPL population, % of un-irrigated area, and remoteness index.
In the first year 100 GPs based on the BI ranking will be taken up for implementation of
BRGF. There are 22 blocks in the district and to ensure spatial distribution 3 GPs/block is
selected based on BI thus totally to 66 GPs. The rest 34 GPs are the GPs in scheduled area
having predominantly tribal population that require focused attention. About Rs. 10.00
lakhs/GP will be funded to 100 GPs amounting to a total of 10 crores that is about 60% of fund
allocation for rural areas. Based on the points identified in pallisabha, gram sabha funds
earmarked for GP will be utilized for taking up project to bridge the critical gaps like AWCs,
ANM centres, rural play grounds, LI centres, cross drainage works, internal concrete roads etc.
with in the GP, size of the habitation and SC, ST population will be used as criteria for
selection hamlets / Villages
