Agenda Item No.3 SELECTION / APPROVAL OF NEW ADDITIONAL PROPOSALS TO BE

SUBMITTED TO THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS FOR THE YEAR
2011-12 IN ADDITION TO THE NORMAL ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.

3.1 A number of additional proposals have also been received for consideration of SLSC for
onward submission to the MHA in addition to the normal Annual Action Plan for the year 2011-12.

3.2 The SLSC decided that selection of schemes for recommendation as additional proposals

submitted to the MHA accordingly.

Agenda Item No.4 Any other issues with the permission of the Chair.

4.1. While taking part in the course of discussion, the Secretary (Education) pointed out that all
weather kitchens for Mid Day Meals and toilet for girls in every school are required to be constructed
under Right to Education as per directive of the Honble Supreme Court. The SLSC has decided that
this will be taken into account while forwarding subsequent proposals to the MHA. Concerned DCs
were requested to keep the same in mind while proposing schemes under BADP in future.

4.2 DC, Dibang Valley requested to fix a minimum amount as project cost to be implemented
under BADP to avoid schemes of very small nature which result into thin spreading of resources. In this
connection, some members opined that while all care should be taken to ensure that durable assets are
created under BADP, it may not be practically feasible to fix a minimum amount for each project under
BADP since it has been observed that small schemes of very crucial nature needs to be taken up as
per the felt need of the area. The Chairman SLSC advised the concerned DCs to take all factors into
consideration and propose the most genuine schemes under BADP for overall development of the
border areas. The Chairman further asked the DCs to ensure convergence of schemes under BADP
with other developmental schemes for optimum utilization of resources but while doing so it must also
be ensured that duplicacy of schemes are avoided.

4.3. Concerned Deputy Commissioners were requested to submit pending QPRs and Utilisation
Certificates immediately failing which, there will be proportionate cut in release of fund during 2011-12.

4.4 As per the decision taken in the 11th Empowered Committee Meeting of BADP held on
3rd May,2011 at New Delhi, all the Deputy Commissioners were asked to maintain Asset Registers for
all the assets created under BADP and the same along with success stories and photographs with a
soft copy should be submitted to Planning Department latest by 31st July,2011 for onward submission
to MHA for analytical purposes.

4.5 It was also informed that the State Government has already engaged Third Party Monitors
for monitoring of schemes under BADP which has already started its work and will be visiting all the
concerned districts soon. The Deputy Commissioners were asked to provide necessary cooperation to
the visiting teams. The DCs were also asked to regularly carry out inspection of BADP schemes and
submit their reports to the Planning Department for further necessary action.

4.6. It was also decided that the existing procedure of Deputy Commissioner being the final
authority for selection of schemes and selection of executing agencies for implementation of BADP
schemes should be continued as a part of the decentralized planning process.
