The Ministry for Development of North East Region has taken various measures to put the cart of Development on track and accelerate the speed of development process. The steps include special emphasis on monitoring of the infrastructure projects for time-bound completion, priority funding for the identified projects tied up and fast tracking of environmental and forest clearance. The Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR) Schemes both State and Central were reviewed with each state separately in the last week of July and August 2014.
To make the NLCPR schemes more responsive and transparent, guidelines are in the process of modifications to incorporate suggestions given by the states in the conference.
In order to overcome the delay in completion of projects and early release of funds, selection, sanction and approval of the new projects are being streamlined in such a way that working season of the states from October – April is fully utilised for implementation. An amount of Rs 400 crore has been released in NLCPR State and Rs 71.97 crore released under NLCPR Central in the last six months.
