The achievement in most of the schemes is more than 90 percent. In future also we have to be on top in the implementation of the schemes. Regular meetings will be held at the Chief Minister level regarding the progress in achieving the targets of the schemes.
It is the responsibility of the departmental ministers to ensure the timely implementation of the schemes run in their department.
