(c)to(e): Under UIG, two Detail Project Reports (DPRs) namely BRTS Package III for Jaipur for Rs.293.46 crore and Storm water Drainage for Ajmer-Pushkar for Rs.86.81 crore in Rajasthan have been received. However, the balance of fund available for the State of Rajasthan is only Rs.30 lakh (out of 7 Years allocation of Rs.598.69 crore), which is inadequate to fund any of these projects.

Under UIDSSMT, three project proposals pertaining to Sewerage Treatment Plan at Jhunjhunu, Sardarshahar and Kota are pending for central assistance. These projects could not be considered for release as the balance available allocation for the State of Rajasthan is in-sufficient to sanction any of these projects.
