Welfare oriented schemes of State Government are financed by the States` own
resources and partially by the Central Assistance. Normal Central Assistance is
provided as per formula, and Additional Central Assistance is provided for specific
purposes. States are encouraged to augment their own resources by additional
resource mobilisation should they need to.

STEPS TAKEN TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE TO STATES
In addition to Normal Central Assistance provided to States under Gadgil-
Mukherjee formula and Special Programmes for their Plan Programmes, necessary
steps are taken by the Central Government to provide additional financial
assistance to States as under:-
1) Additional Central Assistance for Externally Aided Projects: States that
secure foreign loans and grants for specific projects are given additional financial
assistance from this head. Since foreign donors usually release loans and grants
on a reimbursement basis, it is necessary to provide the initial expenditure required
for such projects, which are later adjusted from the foreign loan actually received
by the State concerned.
2) Additional Financial Assistance for other Projects: Additional Central
Assistance is also given to States for specific programmes that are of importance to
the States concerned, for example, Border Area Development Programme, Prime
Minister`s Gramodaya Yojana, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme,
Accelerated Power Development Programme, Slum Development Programme. To
avail themselves of this facility, States are required to submit their detailed
proposals to the ministry/Department administering the programme. The Ministries
concerned examine these proposals in detail and made releases of assistance
accordingly.
3) Special Plan Assistance: Additional financial assistance is also given to
States, which face special problems, to assist them in their development efforts.
These are not necessarily project specific. To avail themselves of this facility,
States submit their proposals to the Planning Commission that examines them in
consultation with the Ministries concerned and the Ministry of Finance.
