March end fever grips – Authorities rushes for utilisation of funds under various projects

March end fever grips – Authorities rushes for utilisation of funds under various projects:
Jalgaon district various departments had 163.28 Crores annual funds planned and have received 147 Crores in actual from State. Out of these authorities have spared mere 65.11 Crores and rest 62 Crores is still with Government treasury. The March end fever has griped administration and most of them are now in final pace of allocation of such grants. Administration has fear of reversal of grants following non-utilisation and could equally result in next year allocation lowered by State.
Until now electricity reforms department has not spared its 9 Crores grant, education for citizens drive has not found anyone to educate in 39.70 Lakhs grant, housing development fears houses construction in spite of 3.46 Crores grants, fisheries department awaits utilisation of 10.08 Lakhs and irrigation projects still have not allocated 4.35 Crores. The tourism development department had 10.89 Crores allocation and has spared mere 56 Lakhs. Social services and group marriages had 51.56 Crores fund and spared just 17.98 Crores. Dozing administrative state and no political pressure continues to be a key barrier in growth amidst funds availability.
