(a) to (c ):   The Integrated Action Plan (IAP) for selected Tribal and Backward Districts was in operation from 2010-11 to 2012-13.  From 2013-14, assistance was provided to 88 districts under the  scheme  'Additional  Central  Assistance  (ACA)  for  Left  Wing  Extremism  (LWE)  Affected Districts' including the 82 IAP districts. During the period 2012-13 to 2014-15, an amount of Rs. 5219 crore was released against which the States have reported an expenditure of Rs. 6110 crore (including spillover from previous years).  The State-wise details of funds allocated, released and utilized  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  is  at  Annexure.    The  works  taken  up  by  the  State Governments under the programme included village roads, drinking water facilities and sanitation, school  buildings/school  infrastructure,  anganwadi  centres  etc.      Following  acceptance  of  the recommendations of the 14 th Finance Commission for increased devolution to the States from 32% to 42 %, no allocation, no allocation for this programme has been made in Union Budget in 201516 and 2016-17.

The utilization of funds was being monitored very closely at different levels.  The State Level  Committee headed by  Chief Secretary /  Development  Commissioner of each State was entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring at the State level.  Besides statutory audit at the district level, the districts have maintained the block wise inventory of assets created under the programme.  Information on physical and financial progress was also posted on the MIS developed for the scheme to ensure transparency.  At the Central Level, erstwhile Planning Commission / NITI  Aayog  took  periodical  reviews  with  the  State  Governments  to  ensure  that  assets  / infrastructure created under the programme were actually utilized.
