New Delhi, May 7 (KNN) Haryana’s Annual Plan for the current fiscal was finalised at Rs 27,072 crore during a meeting between Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Chief Minister of Haryana, Bhupinder Singh Hooda yesterday.
The net state plan outlay comes to Rs 18,000 crore which is 24 per cent more than last year's Rs 14,500 crore. Further, Rs 7,513 crore has been allocated for PSEs and Rs 1,559 crore for local bodies to be met from their own resources, according to media reports.
Commending the state’ GDP growth rate and per-capita income which is amongst the highest in the country, Ahluwalia said more attention was needed to make growth more inclusive.
While it has introduced innovative initiatives in health, education and infrastructure development, the state had to focus more on horticulture, storage capacities, efficient use of water and adopt modern agricultural practices to enhance productivity, he added.
On the state's performance, Hooda said, “Haryana contributes nearly 3.4 per cent to the national GDP and has reached per capita income of about Rs 1.24 lakh in 2012-13. During the last eight years, the State's economy grew at an excellent average annual rate of 9.3 per cent, significantly higher than the rate of growth of the national economy.”
Ahluwalia said the Commission was shortly seeking cabinet approval for restructuring centrally sponsored schemes so as to improve efficiency. However, more flexibility at state level was proposed; states should suggest measures needed to improve performance of central initiatives.
Meanwhile, Hooda asked for extension of JNNURM (Urban development scheme) to Gurgaon, Greater Noida, Panchkula and Kurukshetra.
He also sought Rs 700 crore support for setting up of solid waste management plants and asked to impose penalties for defaulting in supply commitments of power and water particularly in Gurgaon.
The state has constituted the Haryana Infrastructure Development Board to encourage private sector investment in infrastructure. (KNN)
