The  proposals recommended  by  the  SLC  are  considered  by  the  Screening  Committee  (SC)  and  the Empowered  Committee  (EC)  in  the  Ministry  before  these  projects  are  approved.  The Proposal for 'Cancer Care Service Centre at Neendakara Taluk Hospital Kollam' has not been  received  from  State  Govt.  of  Kerala.
