Water Augmentation Scheme in Raipur

Rajya Sabha

The project titled “Raipur Augmentation Water Supply Scheme” has been approved for a cost of Rs.303.64 crore with Additional Central Assistance (ACA) commitment of Rs.242.91 crore. So far an amount of Rs.182.18 crore has been released i.e. 75% of the ACA committed. The second and subsequent installments of Additional Central Assistance (ACA) for projects are released only upon receipt of proper utilization certificate from State Governments. The Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC) before releasing the second and subsequent installments of ACA satisfies itself as regards the physical and financial progress of the projects under implementation and achievement of milestones as agreed upon by the States and Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) for implementation of reforms.

Proposal for Telibandha Reservoir has been received. However, the proposal could not be considered as the overall indicative allocation of fund for the whole mission period (2005-2012) for Chhattisgarh has already been exhausted.

This information was given by Shri Saugata Roy, Minister of State, Urban Development in reply to a question by Shri Shreegopal Vyas in Rajya Sabha Today.
