## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND MINISTER OF STATE FOR   MINISTRY OF HOUSING & URBAN AFFAIRS

## (RAO INDERJIT SINGH)

- (a) The Government  appreciates  the genuine  concerns of the  State  Governments  and  therefore  to provide greater autonomy in financing and formulating of schemes   as per their  need and requirement   to address  the  regional  imbalances  within  the  States  and  to  fill  the  development  gaps  in  the  deficit  regions including  KBK  region  of  Odisha,  the  Government  has  accepted  the  recommendations  of  14 th Finance Commission which provides higher devolution to the States. Accordingly, the BRGF (State component) and Integrated Action Plan have become part of the higher devolution of the States.
- (b) The  14 th Finance  Commission  share  of  States  in  the  net  proceeds  of  the  union  taxes  has  been significantly enhanced from 32% to 42% which is the biggest ever increase in vertical tax devolution/share of the States in the divisible pool which provides the sufficient flexibility to the States to conceive and implement schemes/programmes  suited  to  the  local  needs  and  aspirations,  including  requirements  to  bridge  the developmental deficit gap in backward regions within the State.

Also,  as  per  the  recommendations  of  the  Sub-Group  of  Chief  Ministers  and  consultations  with  various Ministries/Departments and other stakeholders, Government of India   decided to rationalize the existing 66 Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) into 28 Umbrella Schemes. Further considering the  development needs of the backward regions the  funding  pattern  for the CSS in 8 North Eastern States (including Sikkim)  and Himalayan States of  Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir has been kept at Centre : 90% and State 10% whereas for the  rest of the States this ratio has  been kept at   Centre : 60% and State: 40% for Core CSS. Also, the  flexi-funds available in each  CSS has been raised from the  current level of 10% to 25% for States and 30% for UTs of the  overall annual allocation under each Scheme so that the implementation can be better attuned to the local needs and requirements.

- (c)     Statements showing the project-wise releases made during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 under the Special Plan for KBK Districts of Odisha, Special Plan for Bihar and Special Plan for West Bengal which were being implemented under the State Component of Backward Regions Grants Fund (BRGF) are placed at Annexure IA, Annexure IB and Annexure-IC respectively.  A Statement Showing the Cumulative Releases made to the States covered under the scheme 'Integrated Action Plan (IAP)/ACA for LWE Affected District is placed at Annexure -II.
