In line with the decision taken to ensure timely release of the state's shares for education and health sector, Arunachal Pradesh government has released Rs 28.93 crore as the state's share against various centrally sponsored schemes (CSS) under health and education sector.
This includes Rs 2363.80 lakh under SSA, Rs 343.21 lakh under RMSA, Rs. 124.00 lakh under NRHM, Rs 42.75 lakh under RUSA and Rs 19.10 lakh under AYUSH, an official communique informed here today.
The state cabinet had earlier decided that the state share against CSS, particularly under critical sectors would be released in a time-bound manner for smooth implementation of schemes.
The issue of the release of state's share against other CSS is under active consideration of the government and would be released based on priority and matching release of central share, the communique said.
Concerned departments have been directed to implement the schemes strictly as per guidelines and submit Utilization Certificates (UC) against the funds released to enable the state government to take up the matter with the Centre for release of subsequent installments, the communique added.
