from 2010-11 to 2012-13. From 2013-14, assistance was provided to 88 districts under the scheme
“Additional Central Assistance (ACA) for Left Wing Extremism (LWE) Affected Districts” including the 82
IAP districts. During the period 2012-13 to 2014-15, an amount of Rs. 5219 crore was released against which
the States have reported an expenditure of Rs. 6110 crore (including spillover from previous years). The
State-wise details of funds released and utilized and the physical targets set and achieved during each of the
last three years is at Annexure I & II. The works taken up by the State Governments under the programme
included village roads, drinking water facilities and sanitation, school buildings/school infrastructure,
anganwadi centres etc. There is no allocation for this programme in Budget 2015-16.
The utilization of funds was being monitored very closely at different levels. The State Level
Committee headed by Chief Secretary / Development Commissioner of each State was entrusted with the
responsibility of monitoring at the State level. Besides statutory audit at the district level, the districts have
maintained the block wise inventory of assets created under the programme. Information on physical and
financial progress was also posted on the MIS developed for the scheme to ensure transparency. At the Central
Level, erstwhile Planning Commission / NITI Aayog took periodical reviews with the State Governments to
ensure that assets / infrastructure created under the programme were actually utilized.

IAP
†3224. SHRIMATI KAMLA DEVI PAATLE:
(a) the number of districts in Chhattisgarh identified as Left Wing Extremism affected districts and
included under the Integrated Action Plan (IAP);
(b) whether the Government proposes to include newly formed districts of Chhattisgarh; if so, the details
thereof;
(c) whether the Government has received a proposal from the Government of Chhattisgarh to increase
the allocation for each district included under IAP from Rs. 30 crore to 50 crore annually; and
(d) if so, the details thereof and the reaction of the Government thereto?
ANSWER
(a) to (d) The programme Integrated Action Plan (IAP) for Selected Tribal and Backward Districts was
continued from 2013-14 as Additional Central Assistance (ACA) for Left Wing Extremism (LWE)
affected districts. The programme covered 88 districts including 14 districts of Chhattisgarh namely
Balrampur, Bastar, Bijapur, Dantewada, Gariaband, Jashpur, Kanker, Kawardha, Kondagaon, Koriya,
Narayanpur, Rajnandgaon, Sukma and Surguja till 2014-15.
From 2015-16, the programme ACA for LWE affected districts has become a part of the devolution
to the States consequent upon the recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission and no
allocation has been made for it in budget 2015-16. The higher tax devolution will give the States greater
autonomy to design and finance schemes suited to local needs and aspirations, including requirements to
bridge the developmental deficit gap in backward regions.

PRIVATE FUNDING FOR R&D
3233. SHRI BHAGWANTH KHUBA
Will the Minister of PLANNING be pleased to State:
(a) Whether the NITI Aayog penal moots, private funding for research and development activities in
various areas;
(b) If so, the details thereof; and
(c) The reaction of the Government as well a Corporate Sector in this regard?
ANSWER
(a) & (b): Yes, Madam. The Expert Committee on Innovation and Entrepreneurship under the Chairmanship
of Prof. Tarun Khanna, Director, South Asia Institute, Harvard University, USA has submitted its
report in October, 2015. One of the recommendations of the Expert Committee is as under:
“1% of corporate profit could be directed towards research labs in universities and/ or industry-
university collaborative research. The government could provide some tax benefits against this.
Monitoring of this rule should focus not only on the absolute amount channelled into universities, but
also on the efficiency of spending, that is, it needs to be output-rather than input-oriented. The idea
here is that universities become the breeding ground for new technology/ ideas that can be used by the
corporate sector. Firms would implicitly be outsourcing R&D - financing development of products/
services that can be bought by them. In that sense, this financing would be perceived as absolutely core
and fundamental to a firm’s operations, rather than as a CSR-related activity. Though the actual
development of R&D may take some time, beginning the involvement of the corporate sector in the
financing of universities could be achieved relatively quickly”.
(c) A Mission High Level Committee (MHLC) of Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) has been constituted to
consider the recommendations of the Expert Committee. NITI Aayog has not received any response
from the corporate sector.

(a) whether, there is much ambiguity on the expenditure of funds being made on the
implementation of Centrally sponsored schemes and if so , the details thereof;
(b) whether the State Governments have requested for their autonomy on the expenditure of funds
released by the Union Government for the implementation of the Centrally sponsored schemes and if
so, the details thereof; and
(c) the response of the Union Government to this proposal?
ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) FOR MINISTRY OF PLANNING AND
MINISTER OF STATE FOR DEFENCE
(a) to (c): No Madam, there is no ambiguity on the expenditure of funds being made on the
implementation of Centrally sponsored schemes. 14th
Finance Commission has recommended an increase of
10% in State’s share of net proceeds of Union taxes and duties. This increase from 32% to 42% underpins the
laudable objective of giving the States’ more financial autonomy. So, the increased devolution would
undoubtedly increase the quantum of untied funds available to the States which could be utilized by the States
for various schemes / programmes. The combined central transfers to the State from devolution of taxes and
CSS in 2015-16 is about 29.6% more over 2014-15 revised estimate. The detailed break-up is as follows:

The Government of India has been implementing a number of Central Sector / Centrally Sponsored
Development Schemes throughout the country for the benefit of the people at the grass root level. Every year,
sufficient funds are allocated under the Union Budget to run these schemes. These schemes like Pradhan
Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme
(MGNREGA), National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), National Urban Livelihoods Mission (NULM),
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY), Indira Awas
Yojana (IAY), National Health Mission (NHM), Sarva Shiksha Abyhiyan (SSA), Mid-Day Meal Scheme
(MDMS), Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Rajiv Gandhi National Drinking Water Mission
(RGNDWM), National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP), Swachh Bharat Mission etc. are addressing
most of the targets identified by the UN under the SDGs.
(c) (d) and (e) -
The Implementing Ministries of the Union Government have been collecting data on regular basis on
the CS/CSS schemes with regard to their targets and achievements. The MIS data of the Implementing
Ministries will help in mapping the SDGs. However, as the SDGs have been intimated by the UN to the
participating countries like India very recently, Government of India has initiated work to map the different
CSS schemes that are co-relating the SDGs and to identify the indicators for the targets under the SDGs.

of basic amenities viz., food, water, electricity and housing during the last three years;
(b) if so, the details thereof along with funds released/utilised during the last three years for
the purpose, State/UT-wise;
(c) whether the Government has fixed any target to increase such amenities in the country during
the existing12th Plan period and if so, the details thereof;
(d) the extent by which the Government has been able to achieve such targets; and
(e) the other steps taken by the Government to provide the basic amenities to the common people?
ANSWER
(a) to (d): In the Twelfth Five Year Plan, targets were fixed to increase the basic amenities like
water, food, electricity and housing etc. The demand for water for domestic use in the rural
areas has been estimated as 40 litres per captia per day for the 12th Plan. To achieve this target,
funds were released through centrally sponsored scheme namely National Rural Drinking
Water Programme (NRDWP). The State/UT- wise central funds released and utilized during
the last three years are given at Annexure-I.
Food projections for various food items by the terminal year of the 12th Plan and also for
the year 2020-21were made while formulating the 12th Five year plan. These projections have
been made for the country as a whole and not on per captia basis. The production of food-grain
in the Year 2013-14 was 265.04 million ton and in the Year 2014-15 it is 252.68 million ton
(4th Advance Estimate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare) and the projected

demand for the Year 2016-17 will be 257 million ton (the projected supply for the 2016-17 is
expected to be 258 to 272 million ton) and for 2020-21, it will be 277 million ton (projected
demand). The State-wise fund release and utilized for increasing agriculture production is
given at Annexure-II.

identification from time to time, to build/upgrade their houses, or get house sites with financial
and technical assistance from the Government. The approved Budget outlay for Rural Housing
for 12th Five year plan is Rs. 59585 crore. In the first three years of the 12th Plan, Rs. 31926
crores as central release has been made and 54.30 lakh houses have been constructed. The
central releases made under IAY during the last three years are given at annexure-III.
In the urban areas, Government of India is providing assistance to the State
Governments for slum rehabilitation and improvement in other amenities. As per the estimate
made by a Technical Committee, constituted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty
Alleviation, the overall dwelling shortage in urban area is about 18.78 million units. Under the
12th plan, for slum rehabilitation, Rajiv Awaas Yojana has been launched after incorporating
the learning’s from its pilot phase. Under this scheme, central fund for sum rehabilitation is
provided. The scheme also mandates undertaking a few pro-poor urban reforms like providing
of the property rights to the slum dwellers, reserving land for housing for economically weaker
section etc.
Ministry of Urban Development has also implemented the Jawaharlal Nehru Urban Renewal
Mission (JNNURM). JNNURM was launched in December, 2005 for a period of 7 years for
assisting State Governments for providing housing and basic services to urban poor/slum
dwellers in 65 select cities under the Sub Mission Basic Services to the Urban Poor (BSUP)
and in other cities and towns, under the Integrated Housing and Slum Development Programme
(IHSDP). The other two components of JNNURM are Urban Infrastructure Development
Scheme for Small & Medium Towns (UIDSSMT) and Urban Infrastructure Governance. The
extended period of JNNURM ended on 31.03.2015. Government has further extended the
Mission period by two years i.e. upto 31.03.2017 only to complete ongoing projects that were
sanctioned upto 31.03.2012. In addition, under the 12th plan, Government has also launched
National Urban Livelihood Mission under which urban poor are assisted for gainful self-
employment and skill based employment opportunities. The scheme also has a component of
providing assistance to the States for construction and maintenance of shelter of homeless. The
details of state wise allocation under NULM, RAY and JNNURM are given at Annexure-IV.
Recently, Government has also launched three major schemes for urban sector viz., Smart
Cities Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and
Housing for All. These Missions would help the common people in urban areas through

increased access to water supply, sewer connections, public transportation, housing, improved
urban governance ensuring transparency and accountability and better delivery of services.

of electricity on All India basis is 914.41 kWh in the year 2012-13, 957 kWh for the year 2013-
14 and provisional per capita electricity consumption for the year 2014-15 is 1000 kWh. Based
on the demand projection of the 18th Electric Power Survey, Generation capacity addition
target of 88,537 MW has been planned from conventional sources on All-India basis during
12th Five Year Plan. It comprises of 72340 MW from thermal, 5300 MW from nuclear and
10897 MW from hydro. In addition, the capacity addition planned from Renewable sources is
30,000 MW during the 12th Five Year Plan. With this capacity addition electricity demand is
expected to be met on All India basis. This per capita consumption of electricity is expected to
exceed 1200 units by the end of the 12th Plan.
(e): In addition to the above, Government of India runs schemes like Mahatma Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), National Rural Livelihoods Mission
(NRLM) and National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP), Swatch Bharat Mission, Pradhan
