(a) Yes, Sir.
(b) The brief details of the Centrally Sponsored schemes for facilitating industrialisation in the States are given as under:-
Transport Subsidy Scheme, 1971
The scheme aims at promoting industrialisation in hilly, remote and inaccessible areas of the country. Under the scheme, subsidy ranging between 50% to 90% is admissible on transportation cost incurred by an entrepreneur on the movement of raw materials and finished goods from the designated rail-head/ports upto the location of industrial units and vice-versa for a period of five years from the date of commencement of commercial production.
Growth Centre Scheme, 1971
The scheme aims at promoting industrialisation of the identified backward areas in the country. Under the scheme, subsidy is provided for creating basic infrastructure facilities like power water, telecommunication, banking etc. for attracting growth of industries in and around these centres.
Central Capital Investment Subsidy Scheme, 1997 for N.E. States
This scheme is a part of the package of measures initiated by the Central Government for the development of the North-Eastern region. Under the scheme, subsidy @ 15% of the investment in plant and machinery subject to a maximum, ceiling of Rs. 30 lakhs is admissible to the units to be set up in the identified locations.
Central Interest Subsidy Scheme, 1997 for N.E. States
This scheme is also part of the initiatives taken for the development of North-Eastern region and subsidy @ 3% is payable to industrial units on the working capital loans taken by them.

i) Has helped in setting up of new Industrial Growth Centres in hitherto unexploited areas.
ii) Accelerated the process of setting up of new industrial units in the identified areas.
iii) Many of the existing units continue to operate in the identified locations because of the availability of subsidies under these schemes.
