This would enable better planning for the implementation of the schemes in terms of project selection and front-loading of projects, Minister for DoNER G. Kishan Reddy said
The Centre has approved the continuation of schemes of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) with an outlay of ₹12,882 crore for the balance period of the 15th Finance Commission (2022-23 to 2025-26).
Addressing a press conference, Minister for DoNER G. Kishan Reddy said the decision to extend the approved schemes for the balance period of the 15th Finance Commission was taken at a meeting of the Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday.
This would enable better planning for the implementation of the schemes in terms of project selection and front-loading of projects during the scheme period, he said.
Mr. Reddy said efforts will be made to conclude the maximum number of projects by 2025-26 so that there are minimum committed liabilities beyond that year.
The minister said based on the Expenditure Finance Committee's (EFC) recommendations, the outlay for the North East Special Infrastructure Scheme (NESIDS) will be ₹8,139.5 crore, including the committed liabilities of the ongoing projects.
The outlay for the "Schemes of NEC" will be ₹3,202.7 crore, including the committed liabilities of the ongoing projects, the outlay for special packages for the Bodoland Territorial Council, the Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council (DHATC) and the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council (KAATC) in Assam is ₹1,540 crore, including the committed liabilities of the ongoing projects.
The NESIDS, a central sector scheme with 100% central funding, has been restructured having two components - NESIDS (Roads) and NESIDS (other than road infrastructure).
