Nagaland Post: Kohima: Wednesday, March 05, 2014.
An
amount of Rs. 44.70 lakhs remained unspent under the Department of Land
Resource (DoLR) during the current year 2013-2014 out of the total amount
received from both central and state government during 2013-2014.
This
information has been provided through a disclosure under RTI application filed
by social activist S. Lepzung Jamir (Ref.No.DoLR/RTI/2009-10/1089) furnished on
February 20 by the department of land resources, Nagaland.
The
social activist further appealed for the second time on February 24 to the
department to furnish certain details by issuing utilization certificate under
State Plan (SP) and Central share implemented for Integrated Watershed
Management Programme (IWMP) since he was not satisfied with the report
furnished on February 20.
Lepzung
also wanted to know whether the amount Rs. 44.70 lakhs sanctioned by the
Central government would remained unused for the current year 2013-2014 or
where the remaining balance would be spent as the financial year would end by
March 31.
The
RTI applicant also expressed dismay with the details provided on the current
strength of employees DoLR as it excluded the entire strength of the department
including the district project officers.
The
RTI report made available to Nagaland Post had the list of State schemes,
Central scheme, subsidies and aims & objectives. The department report said
that under the state scheme, there were rubber development plantation;
information technology; training and capacity building; construction of
district office building in Longleng; liabilities on construction of district
office in Phek and resource centre.
Under
the heading Centre scheme, there was the Integrated Watershed Management
Programme (IWMP) with the objectives to conserve and develop natural resources,
increase productivity of the land and provide sustainable livelihood to the
people.
