It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  State  Governments  to develop  the  police  infrastructure.  However,  the  efforts  of  the  States  for equipping and modernizing of their police forces have been supplemented under  the  scheme  of  'Assistance  to  States  &  UTs  for  Modernization  of Police  (ASUMP)'  [erstwhile  scheme  of  Modernization  of  State  Police Forces  (MPF)].  The  budgetary  allocations  and  releases  to  the  State/UT Governments under the ASUMP scheme [erstwhile scheme of Modernization of State Police Forces(MPF)], during the last 5 years is at Annexure-I.

## Note

I. The figures of allocation and release for FY 2018-19 include funds released to the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) for supply of weaponry to the States.

II. Releases to States have varied vis-à-vis allocations.  Where release is less than allocation, the same is on account of non-submission of Utilization Certificates(UCs) and where release exceeds allocation, the same is on account of releases made for Mega City Policing or/and supplementary releases or/and better performance incentives or/and incentives for police reforms.
