There  has  been  some  shortfall  in  achievement  of  targets  during  the  last  year  2020-21  due  to various reasons. Covid-19 pandemic related lockdowns had affected execution of works in the field  during  the  last  year.  Moreover,  North  Eastern  region  had  shorter  working  season  due  to cold weather and extended monsoon. In some cases, lack of forest clearance had also affected progress of works.
