State not utilising grants for SC/ST communities fully

Bangalore, Dec 31: Taking note of inadequate spending of grants
earmarked for the welfare of the SC and ST communities in the state,
under Special Economic Programme (ECP) and Tribal Support Programme
(TSP), Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa today exhorted the
officials to step it up to achieve cent per cent performance.

Speaking at a performance review meeting of SEP and TSP here the Chief
Minister said the government had earmarked about 22.75 per cent of the
total Budgetary proposal during the year 2010-11, for the welfare of
SCs and ST.

He said at the end of October 2010, Rs 3208 crore was reserved to take
up welfare works under SEP and another Rs 1342.67 crore for TSP.
However, only Rs 1216.23 crore (37pc ) and Rs 371.86 (27pc ) crore had
been utilised.

Expressing concern over under-performance in utilising the grants, The
Chief Minister urged the officials to focus more on utilising the
funds meant for the welfare of the oppressed classes.
