(a) A Statement is attached in the Annexure.
(b) to (d) According to the laid down procedure of sanctioning of projects by the
CAPART, a project proposal is sanctioned after desk appraisal and pre-funding
appraisal, during which the capability and credibility of the organisation and the
feasibility of the proposal are evaluated by an independent Monitor. If the evaluation
report is positive, the proposal is recommended for sanction and placed before the
concerned National Standing Committee/Regional Committee of the CAPART. The
entire process of obtaining documents, deputing evaluators, obtaining their reports,
examining these documents and reports, etc., takes some time. Only after this process is
completed, the proposal can be placed before the National Standing Committee/Regional
Committee for consideration.
