"Out of a number of DPRs sent to the Centre, only a few sanctions we have received so far," state's Tourism Minister Rachpal Singh said here.

Replying to Centre's allegation that most of the state governments keep on demanding sanction of its proposed projects without sending any DPR, Singh said that the case was different for West Bengal.

"We are yet to get sanction of several tourism projects, DPR of which had already been sent," Singh said.

He said the Centre was providing consultancy to state governments for preparing DPR for proposed projects, but the West Bengal government did not require any such help and was capable of preparing DPRs.

While projects like development of Burdwan Tourism Circuit, Hooghly Tourism Circuit, Destination Darjeeling and Gateway Sundarbans were yet to get sanction from the Centre, projects like Destination Gangasagar and Diamond Harbour had received sanction recently, the minister said.
