The execution of Indira Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Gramin Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), Targeted Public Distribution System (only APl), Antyodaya Anna scheme under 20 Points programme is not satisfactory.
This was disclosed by Uttarakhand Economic and Statistics director YS Pangti on Friday. He is touring the districts to monitor different items of 20 Points Programme along with Deputy Director JC Chandola and other officers.
Pangti said that he reviewed different items of 20 Points Programme with department officials in Chakrata block of Dehradun, Mori block of Uttarkashi district and other blocks in the last four days. He also met local residents to understand the actual status of execution of the programme in their localities.
According to him, it was observed that department had released funds for the construction of toilets under Indira Awas Yojana at several villages of these blocks but these has not been constructed so far. Some residents in Chakrata block said that they do not receive food grains regularly under PDS from the PDS shops.
He expressed dissatisfaction over quality of roads constructed in these blocks under PMGSY of the 20 Points Programme. At some places of Mori block, roads were constructed few months ago but their condition was pitiable.
The job card holders of the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Grantee Scheme (MNREGS) have complained that they do not receive their wages within 15 days of their work. Works completed under MNREGS were not satisfactory at some places of these blocks. The execution of tree plantation under the programme was satisfactory. Some members of Self Help Groups informed that they were not able to withdraw funds under the scheme from the local bank due to lack of coordination of bank officials. The attendance of students in the Anganwadi centres was not satisfactory in the Chakrata and Mori block.
Pangti said that the monitoring of 27 items under 20 Points Programme was not satisfactory in these blocks. Following this, he directed the officials concerned to execute the Central sponsored schemes effectively so that the benefit of the welfare schemes reaches the common people.
“In order to improve the performance of items under 20 Points Programme, the district level task forces should monitor their assigned target,” he added.
