 Central ministries were supposed to submit to the Planning Commission by the beginning of October detailed action plans on how to achieve their reform agendas. But, more than half of them are yet to submit their blueprints.

 The plan body, which was to give a monthly progress report on the priority agenda to the Prime Minister, has written to him stating that ministries are not showing adequate interest.

 It has also emphasised the need for intervention, failing which the pace of reforms and that of economic growth will slow down.

 Ministries had been directed to submit detailed action plans on how they would achieve their part of the government's priority agenda on reforms within six weeks, starting August 20.

 The deadline ran out on October 1, but only about 37 per cent of them have submitted their action plans to the Planning Commission.

 The agenda, which was drawn up after Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee
