Awards are given to best performing States/UTs based on their rank on a Devolution Index (DI) annually. Funds are not earmarked State-wise.
Budget provision for PEAIS for each of the years from 2009-09 to 2010-11 was Rs.10.00 core per annum, which, for the year 2011-12 has been enhanced to Rs.31.00 . Details of awards given for the years 2008-09 to 2010-11 are given in Annexure-ÂI. The rankings of the States on DI during the last 3 years are given in Annexure-II. Incremental Devolution was introduced in the year 2010-11 only.
