Planning Commission approves Delhi's Rs 15,862 crore outlay for 2012-13
NEW DELHI: The Planning Commission
today approved Delhi's Rs 15,862 crore annual Plan for 2012-13 which is
11.7 per cent higher than the outlay for the last fiscal..........
"We have agreed to a Plan size of Rs 15,862 crore. They have ambitious 12th Plan (2012-17) target of Plan expenditure at Rs 90,000 crore," Ahluwalia told reporters after the meeting.
Commenting on the state's performance, Ahluwalia said: "Delhi is doing very well. We are quite impressed by the percentage of expenditure (65 per cent) that is going to social services, which is really very high".
"I am satisfied with Delhi Jal Board's operational plan wherein they would expand sewerage network in Delhi," he added..............
On its proposal of direct subsidy, she said, "The panel also agreed to the proposal of Delhi Government to provide either cash or food items under the public distribution system."
About the public private partnership in a water project, she said, "They have asked us to go ahead with that." Under this PPP arrangement, there will be round the clock water supply in some of the areas under a pilot project.
The Chief Minister said that the state has opted for a zero loan budget that would get around 92 per cent of funding from its own sources as in the 12th Plan outlay of Rs 90,000 crore, Rs 83,137 crore would come from state's own sources.
She said that the new schemes which would be launched this year include Dilli Swarozgar Yojana under which members of SC,ST, OBC and minorities would get a loan of Rs 5 lakh for self-employment. Besides, a scheme to make Delhi a kerosene-free city would also be launched shortly.
State would also launch a mission in the 12th Plan to improve health indices which would include setting up of three new medical colleges and five nursing schools.
Power generation capacity in the state is also proposed to be increased to 4,730 MW during the 12th Plan from the present level of 2,232 MW.

New water supply model will help private players: Experts
New Delhi, Aug 8 — The absence of regulatory mechanism in the
Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in the water sector will help
private players make profit rather than solve Delhi's water crisis,
experts believe.
"The government wants reform in the water sector
through PPP but there is no regulatory mechanism to monitor the
operation of private players, who only aim to make money," said Himanshu
Thakkar, the coordinator of South Asian Network for Dams, Rivers and
People.
The Delhi government has decided to introduce reform in water management through PPP project.
"More
water will be supplied to those who consume water in large quantity, as
according to the slabs the more you consume, the more you pay. The
focus will be on hotels and other big entities rather than households,"
said Thakkar here Tuesday.
He was speaking at a discussion on 'Water Scarcity in Delhi - Soaring Demand or Mismanagement' here Tuesday.
Thakkar
lamented the sorry state of affairs at the Delhi Jal Board which, he
said, needs more transparency and efficiency in its functioning.
"Delhi
is a spoilt child as all its demands are met immediately. It has enough
water to supply to the residents but still it wants water from Renuka
Dam project in Himachal Pradesh which has several discrepancies,"
Thakkar said.
Another environmental expert, Manu Bhatnagar said
that of 930 million gallons per day water supplied to the residents,
only 600 million gallons reach them.
"This amounts to almost 40
percent leakage in the water supply," said Bhatnagar, who heads the
Natural Heritage Division at INTAC.
He expressed concern over the
profligate use of water by people in the city, and cited how 15 million
gallons of water is wasted everyday on washing cars in the capital.
