Based upon recommendation of NPCC approvals are awarded in the form of Record of Proceedings (RoP) & issued to respective States/UTs Governments. Approvals granted to each State is referenced in the Record of Proceedings (RoPs) available at the below mentioned link: https://nhm.gov.in/index1.php?lang=1&level=1&sublinkid=1377&lid=744
