March 29: The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs today gave its approval for introducing a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme namely ‘Multi-sectoral Development Programme’ for minority concentration districts, with 100% central assistance, during the XIth Five Year Plan with an estimated expenditure of Rs.3780.00 crore.
The programme aims at improving the socio-economic parameters and basic amenities in these districts for improving the quality of life of the people and reducing imbalances in line with priority attached to inclusive growth. Absolutely critical infrastructure linkages like connecting roads, basic health infrastructure, ICDS centres, skill development and marketing facilities required for improving living conditions and economic opportunities and catalyzing the growth process would also be eligible for inclusion in the plan.
The focus on this programme will be on rural and semi-rural areas of the identified 90 minority concentration districts. Financial assistance would made available to these districts to address the ‘development deficits’ that were either not met fully by existing schemes / programmes or catered to by any scheme / programme of the State or Central Government. The programme will be implemented by the Panchayati raj institutions / line departments / agencies / Scheduled Area councils in accordance with the implementation mechanism in practice in the State/UT.
