(c)        Yes, Sir. Since the Union Budget of 1997-98 all Central Ministries/Departments, excepting few exempted ones, are required to earmark atleast 10% of their annual gross budgetary support towards development of the North Eastern States.

 

(d)        The total outlay and expenditure of Central Ministries/Departments in the North Eastern States during the first 2 years of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan is given below:

Note:

1.         Outlay figures are based on Expenditure Budget Vol. 2 Demands for Grants for relevant years   

         published by Ministry of Finance.

2.          Expenditure/Re-appropriation, as reported by Ministries/Departments.

 

 

While increased expenditure and improvement in the implementation of schemes of Central Ministries/Departments are, no doubt, important for higher income level in the North Eastern States they are not, by themselves, sufficient to ensure faster economic growth of the region. The expenditure of Central Ministries/Departments in the North Eastern Region given in table 1 above comprise just about 40 percent of the annual investment requirements for 11th Plan period to achieve accelerated growth estimated in NER Vision 2020 Document. The expenditure of Central Ministries/Departments alone is not sufficient to ensure higher growth rate unless accompanied by robust private and State sector investments.
