- (c) to (e): During the year 2017-18, no fund was released, however, the fund released in the previous year was revalidated for utilisation during the year 2017-18. Further, during 201819, Rs.308.32 lakh was released to the districts of Bihar by the Government of India. These funds have been released to the districts of Bihar for running of the OSCs by setting them up in pre-existing buildings as well as for construction of new buildings for OSCs as per the provisions of the OSC Scheme. Since the OSC Scheme is an ongoing scheme, all unutilised funds are available with  the  State  Government/  District  Authorities  for  its  implementation. Directions  have  been  issued  from  time  to  time  for  speedy  implementation  of  the  OSC scheme and proper utilisation of its funds.
