Annual Plan Approval - 2016-17

New decision of State Co-ordination committee  

Kerala state co-ordination committee for plan implementation has decided that to cut down 5% from plan fund of local self government institutions who got approval between 10-9-2016 to 30-9-2016 of district planning committee for 2016-17. Co-ordination committee has also decided that to cut down 10% of fund if the district planning committee's approval date is after the month of September 2016.

Several reasons found as the hurdles of the approval process according to the employees, they say the problem of approval pending is technical in many ways.

  1. Many of the times the online system of plan approval is not accessible due to the technical problems. If was fully not available on 30/08/16 and 31/08/16. 
  2. The on line software system is very slow, so it is taking time to complete the process.
  3. If many cases, projects are pending approval in the login of vetting officers.
  4. Local self government institutions can forward to district planning committee for final approval, only after getting approval of all the projects from vetting officers.
  5. Last instruction was the vetting officers of public works should approve the projects with the estimate created in PRICE software. Detailed estimate is required to prepare an estimate in price software. It is a time consuming instruction, which was withdrawn on 25.08.16 decision of CC.
  6. Vetting officers asking for social map to approve SC projects, which is a time taking process. Social map is prepared and approved by another department which is out of control of LSGIs.
There are many hurdles in plan approval process.

Even though some LSGIs got approval of DPC within the stipulated period fixed by the government. 

First among the LSGIs attained DPC approval:

Grama Panchayats- Muthurkulam (alappuzha).
Block Panchayats- Perumpadap (malappuram).
Muncipalities - Attingal (Thiruvananthapuram).
