Jharkhand Rural Development Minister Neelkanth Singh Munda today expressed dissatisfaction over the progress of projects under MGNREGA and Indira Awas Yojana in Palamau Commissionary.
Munda, who held a review meeting with the district officials of Palamau, Garwah and Latehar under the Commissionary, told newsmen that he was not satisfied with the progress of projects under the two schemes and directed the officials to expedite the works.
Only 62 per cent of the projects under MGNREGA and Indira Awas Yojana including 22 per cent old schemes was achieved, which was not satisfactory, he said adding that he has received complaint that the work has not even started in eight blocks.
As far as Indira Awas Yojana was concerned, the minister said 19,000 unit of houses under the scheme was pending in the current fiscal in the Commissionary, which was a matter of concern.
Earlier, the minister has inaugurated a new building, which will house the offices of the Commissioner, IG and DIG of the Palamau Commissionary, established at a cost of Rs 3.69 crore.
