Under the integrated action plan (IAP) launched by the state government in the year 2010-11, so far, 13,252 development works have been completed in the 10 insurgency-hit districts in Chhattisgarh.
According to an official press statement issued here on Thursday, about Rs 750 crore had been spent under the development plan, including construction of Anganwadi buildings, school buildings, sub health centres, stop dams, approach roads and culverts during the last three years.
Panchayat and Rural Development minister Hemchand Yadav said that under the integrated action plan the Planning Commission had allocated Rs 250 crore for the year 2010-11, Rs 300 crore for 2011-12 and Rs 200 crore for 2012-13 (first instalment up to December 2012) for the development of the naxalite-infested Jagadalpur, Bijapur, Dantewada, Jashpur, Kanker, Kabirdham, Korea, Narayanpur, Rajnandgaon and Sarguja districts.
The minister said on the basis of applications received from people amount has been sanctioned according to the guidelines and directives of the central government.
Yadav urged, as the central government has not been allocating separate funds for the newly constituted Kondagaon, Sukma, Balrampur and Surajpur districts, funds should be allocated from the parent districts of these new districts on the basis of prescribed percentage.
