Analysis of Institutional Arrangements
Plan Preparation
As per guidelines:
Participatory grass root level planning
Separate Institutional Mechanism for preparing plan
In reality:
A closed collegium of officials, MLAs, MPs & In-charge
Minister of the district finalises the plan
No integration of lower level plans at higher level
No revisit of plan as per final allocation of resources
Insufficient time for participatory planning
Multiple planning units (Sectoral plans)
No Centrality of PRIs to provide common platform
Plan approvals/Sanctions :
As per guidelines:
Approval Commitees at various levels
In reality:
Schemewise Committees are not functioning at lower level
Formal Departmental procedures followed
Administrative Sanctions without resolutions of PRIs
Plan exceeds budget allocation by 3 to 4 times
Funds distribution based on available budget but not Plan
Some times allocations are down sized abruptly
Release of Funds
As per guidelines:
GOI releases to State consolidated fund (BRGF,NREGS)
State Project PD A/C (PMGSY)
Direct to District level Agency (SGSY)
Releases to executive agencies within 15 days
Electronic Transfers
In reality:
Abnormal delay in releasing of funds by the states (4-6M)
Electronic Transfer yet to be implemented
Uncertainty in release of funds to field level agencies
Implementation:
As per guidelines:
Line Department/Project agency implements the programme
Beneficiary Committees at the work level
Bringing professionalism in implementation of the programme
In reality:
No subject expertise for Project Directors
Many posts are kept vacant for long time
No coordination between the project staff and line depts.
Multiplicity of agencies for similar objectives (CMEY-PMEGP)
Competencies of functionaries at the task level is very weak
No role clarity between PRIs and line depts/Project Agency
Monitoring and Evaluation:
As per guidelines:
In-built monitoring mechanism
On-line monthly progress reports
Fixed schedule for inspections
UCs and Audited Accounts to draw 2nd installment
Involvement of Universities and Research Institutions
In reality:
No frequent field visits by the supervisory officers
No role clarity because of multiple agencies
Inadequate Redressal/responsive mechanism
Absence of Integrated Management Information System(MIS)
Social audit not extended to all schemes
CONVERGENCE
Issues in convergence
Reluctance to commit funds for other depts. projects
Fear of losing control over their resources
Absence of institutional platform
Convergence at project level or state level
Differences in subsidies/ Units costs
Different time schedules for release of funds under
different schemes
Sharing of information to avoid double recording of work
Measures to achieve convergence
Centrality of PRIs for planning and implementation
DPC as an ideal platform for convergence
Establish Secretariat for DPC
Maintenance of data base of all schemes by DPC
Integrated and comprehensive training
Parallel Institutions need to be minimized
Village Health & Sanitation Committee /WATSAN Committee/Mothers Committee
Communication of resource envelop before starting
planning process
Suggested Modifications in guidelines
Uniform Institutional Framework
Uniformity in Planning, approval, releases, monitoring
Identify the areas of convergence (Activity matrix) and
incorporate in all guidelines
Define role of Panchayat Raj Institutions in guidelines
Define the role of D.P.C. in all scheme guidelines
Provision for Process Monitoring
Penal Provisions for delay in releases by the state govt.
Uniform subsidies and unit costs in the guidelines
