After the audit of the progress of work under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana-Grameen (PMAY-G) for its first phase (2016-2019), it was pointed out that the performance of three districts – Karauli, Bundi and Tonk – was below state average of 96 per cent.
The department has sought a report from these three districts seeking to know the reason for the poor performance and the officials responsible for it.
The progress in Karauli was 86.94 per cent, in Tonk it was 87.22 per cent and in Bundi it was 93.80 per cent and these below state average of 96 per cent. In the first phase of the scheme, from 2016-17-2019-20, the target was to complete 6.87 lakh houses (in three years).
“The state average in the progress of work in the completion of PMAY houses was 96 per cent. However, after the audit by the accountants general (AG), they pointed out that the progress in these three districts was below state average. They sought to know the reason behind the poor performance and the officials responsible for it,” said an official.
Following this, Additional Chief Secretary (rural develpment and panchayati raj department), Rajeshwar Singh, issued letters to the collectors of these districts seeking a report by May 30. “A review should be done of the progress of work in the district.
A report must be sent by May 30 by taking appropriate action against the officials responsible for the negligence. A report must be sent to the department after the completion of the construction of the remaining houses (sanctioned up to 2018-19),” it stated.
