Accrual from Diesel Cess – Rs. 5,550 crore (2011-12) Accrual from Diesel Cess largely committed for loan repayment during 2011-12. Externally Aided Projects- World Bank Project ($1.5 billion) was launched on 19th May 2011. Possibility of launching of one more ADB Project ($ 0.8 to $1.2 billion). Limited Scope for further leveraging Diesel Cess to raise additional NABARD loans Key Issue: Financing of PMGSY. DEA should put ADB RRS-III P in “firm” category for 2011. Sources of Funding PMGSY 16
Need to Deepen Convergence With MGNREGA • At present under MGNREGA the following works can be covered: • Roads to connect habitations ineligible under PMGSY • Second or multi-connectivity to habitations • habitation - internal roads- other than PMGSY • Plantation along PMGSY roads.
Status of Core Network of Bihar • Inconsistencies noticed in the tentative Core Network sent by the Govt. of Bihar. • The State requested for permission for ground verification to finalize and freeze the Core Network Data. • Sanction of Projects were made based on the tentative Core Network and certification of eligibility by the State/ Nominated Executing Agencies(NEAs). • The habitation details of the Core Network have been analyzed in the presence of officers of RWD from all the districts and shortcomings found. • Verification of habitations of the roads sanctioned to the NEAs (CPWD, IRCON, NBCC, NPCC and NHPC), involved on request of the State for implementation, is under process. • Meeting at the level of SRD scheduled for 21st July 2011.
Quality Assurance –Mechanism • A Three Tier Quality Assurance Mechanism institutionalized.
