ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR TOURISM (INDEPENDENT CHARGE)

(DR. MAHESH SHARMA)

(a) to (e):	The State/UT-wise details of number of projects, amount sanctioned, amount utilised and completion status during 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 are given in **Annexure-I.**

The development, completion and promotion of tourism infrastructure projects is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments/Union Territory Administrations. The States/UTs have State Level Monitoring Committee (SLMC) which regularly review the progress of tourism infrastructure projects.

The Ministry of Tourism (MOT) provides Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to State Governments/Union Territory Administrations for various tourism projects subject to availability of funds, inter-se priority, liquidation of pending utilization certificates against the funds released earlier and adherence to the relevant scheme guidelines.

The Ministry of Tourism monitors the physical progress of the projects through field inspections by the officers of the Ministry, and periodical review meetings with the State Government/Union Territory Administration officers.
