the construction of a bridge over Vayu river at Manganpur in Bhagwanpur block
of Vaishali District of Bihar; and
(b) if so, the time by which the said proposal is likely to be approved alongwith

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE AND COMPANY AFFAIRS
(SHRI ANANDRAO VITHOBAADSUL):
(a) and (b) National Bank for Agriculture & Rural Development (NABARD) has reported that
the Government of Bihar had submitted a proposal in November, 2002 to NABARD for the
construction of a bridge over Baya river at Majholia Manganpur Ghat in Vaishali District
of the State under Rural Infrastructure Development Fund (RIDF) -VIII. As the proposal
did not contain the detailed project report and was not submitted through the nodal
department i.e. Finance Department of the State, which is a necessary prerequisite,
the implementing department was advised to submit the requisite project report through
the nodal department. NABARD has further reported that the same is yet to be received from
the State Government.
