THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR STATISTICS AND PROGRAMME IMPLEMENTATION, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PLANNING, MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE DEPARTMENTS OF ATOMIC ENERGY & SPACE (SHRI S.B. MOOKHERJEE)
(a): The per capita Plan outlay for States for 2001-02 is given in a statement enclosed as Annexure.
(b): Annual Plan Outlays of States are jointly funded by the States (States` Own Resources)
and the Central Government (Central Assistance). Central Assistance to the States
consists of Normal Central Assistance, Assistance for Externally Aided Projects, Special
Central Assistance for specific projects/programmes, Special Plan Assistance and
Additional Central Assistance. Population is not the only criterion for allocation of
Central Assistance, and the determination of the size of States` Own Resources does not
depend on the State`s population, but on its financial position. Therefore, for populous
States like Tamil Nadu, plan outlay expressed in terms of per capita tends to be lower
than for other less populous States.
(c): Planning Commission has been impressing upon the States, including Tamil Nadu, to
generate higher levels of own resources, inter alia by improving the performance of State
level enterprises, increasing tax and non-tax revenue and also by curtailing non-Plan
expenditure to enable greater flow of finances for increasing the plan outlay in the State Plans.
