## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION  AND  MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF PARLIAMENTARY AFFAIRS [SHRI VIJAY GOEL]

- (a) Yes, Sir. The Ministry had requested all States/UTs in February 2011 to constitute Central Sector Project Coordination Committees (CSPCCs) to monitor Central Sector Infrastructure Projects costing Rs. 150 crore and above.

CSPCCs are constituted under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary, with Principal Secretary (Planning) of the State/UT as the Member Secretary, and with representatives from the Central Project Authorities working in the  State,  a  representative  from  this  Ministry  and  representatives  from the concerned State Government Departments/ Agencies. (b)  &  (c)  CSPCCs  have  been  formed  in  27  States/UTs,  namely,  Andhra Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh,  NCT  of  Delhi,  Goa,  Gujarat,  Haryana,  Himachal  Pradesh, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Sikkim, Tamil

Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Nadu, Tripura, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

9  States/UTs,  namely,  Chandigarh,  Daman  and  Diu,  Dadra  and  Nagar Haveli,  Lakshadweep,  Madhya  Pradesh,  Manipur,  Puducherry,  Telangana and West Bengal have not constituted the CSPCCs so far as per current information.

The  objective  of  CSPCCs  is  to  sort  out  bottlenecks  for  the  timely implementation of Central Sector Infrastructure Projects, and to mitigate time and cost overruns in implementation.

(d)    Central  Sector  Infrastructure  Projects  are  implemented  by  the concerned central Ministries/ Organisations. Some Central Sector Infrastructure Projects fall in more than one State (multi-State Projects). Sector-wise  and  State-wise  details  of  the  Central  Sector  Infrastructure Projects  showing  time  overruns,  cost  overruns  and  both  time  and  cost overruns  with  respect  to  the  original  project  implementation  schedules are available in flash report at www.cspm.gov.in/publications.
