MINISTER OF STATE FOR PLANNING, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY
AND EARTH SCIENCES (DR. ASHWANI KUMAR)
(a): The details of the outlay and expenditure of Central Schemes namely, Central Plan
Schemes(CPS) and Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) for 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11 and
2011-12, for which funds are routed through the Odisha State Budget (as reported by the State
Government) are given as under:
Annual Plan No of Schemes Outlay Expenditure Percentage of (in crore) (in crore) Expnd. to outlay
CPS + CSS CPS + CSS CPS + CSS CPS + CSS
2008-09 244 2874.69 2235.04 77.75
2009-10 326 3451.08 2151.66 62.35
2010-11 339 4359.73 2833.46 64.99
2011-12 (upto 329 4362.29 1677.00 38.44
Sep.,2011)
(b): The expenditure incurred under various Central Schemes has varied and was 77.75% in
2008-09, 62.35% in 2009-10, 64.99% in 2010-11 and 38.44% in the current year(upto 30th
September, 2011). In some cases, such as Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, financial achievement has not
exceeded 80% during the last four years of the Eleventh Plan. On the other hand, the financial
performance of the Mid Day Meal Scheme was 85% in 2008-09, 124% in 2009-10 but only 60%
in 2010-11. As far as physical performance is concerned, the Gross Enrolment Ratio was better
than the national average while the Drop-out Rate was higher than the national average. The
Common Services Centre scheme and State Service Delivery Gateway project are slightly behind
schedule due to the shortage of manpower and technical capacity and efforts are being made to
address challenges like availability of broadband connectivity, problem of power and inadequacy
of G2C services. While the expenditure under the National Rural Health Mission has been
relatively satisfactory, there is a shortage of specialists and against a requirement of 924
specialists in Community Health Centres, only 469 are in position. Hence the shortfall in
expenditure and concomitant delay in reaching targets in some of the schemes can largely be
attributed to factors such as shortage of manpower, technical capacity, etc.
(c): For effective and timely implementation of the schemes, each Ministry has its own
system of review, monitoring and evaluation. At the State Government level, in addition to the
monitoring by the Finance and Planning and Coordination Departments, periodical review is also
made by the Chief Minister and the Minister for Planning and Coordination.
