STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) TO (d) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.142
FOR 21.08.2012 REGARDING INTENSIVE DAIRY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
(a) to (d) Projects under Intensive Dairy Development Programme (IDDP) cover activities
like setting up of village level dairy cooperative societies, milk production and procurement,
milk processing and marketing etc. and are sanctioned for implementation over a period of three
to five years. The approved outlay for each project is spread over the duration of the project
implementation period and funds are released in instalments based on approved outlay,
utilization of funds previously released to the implementing agencies and the physical,
financial progress achieved with reference to the approved targets. Reasons for mismatch
between approved outlay and actual amount released for some projects include slow pace of
implementation of projects by the implementing agencies, deviation from sanctioned project
plan and inadequate budget provision. Implementation of the projects is monitored in the
Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries and necessary corrective action to
expedite the implementation of project is initiated. The details of project-wise approved
outlays and funds released during each of the last three years and the current year, state-wise
is annexed.
