Section 5
Specific performance
requirement from other Departments
Since both the
programmes IWMP and NLRMP are to be implemented by State Government in the
district and sub-district level, involvement and support of State Govt. is
absolutely crucial. In Watershed Management Programme, appropriate technical
support from National Rainfed Area Authority (NRAA) has a very important role to
play.
In NLRMP, due to
high-end technology needed in digitization of maps, IT based inter-linking of
various offices, development of appropriate softwares are involved, support from
Survey of India, ISRO, NIC, who are already involved will play an important
role.
One of the major concerns is manpower
constraints in the Department. The outlay of the Department was Rs.2479.00
crores in the 9th Plan. This jumped to Rs.6526.00 crores in the 10th
Plan and was hiked to Rs.17205.00 crores in the 11th Plan. It is
obvious from the above that there has been a steep hike of about
three times between 10th
and 11th Plan. However, the officers and staff in the Department
have not been proportionately increased and it is becoming increasingly
difficult to cope up with the steep increase in the Budget. The Department
urgently needs an additional post of one Joint Secretary and two Directors.
There are certain posts lying vacant in the Department which need to be filled
up, especially those of two Under Secretaries. In fact, every hike in the
Budget should be accompanied with commensurate hike in the staff so that targets
can be achieved.
