Analysis of Institutional Arrangements

Plan PreparationAs per guidelines:Participatory grass root level planningSeparate Institutional Mechanism for preparing

plan

In reality:A closed collegium of officials, MLAs, MPs & In-

charge Minister of the district finalises the planNo integration of lower level plans at higher levelNo revisit of plan as per final allocation of resourcesInsufficient time for participatory planningMultiple 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 levelFormal Departmental procedures followedAdministrative Sanctions without resolutions of PRIsPlan exceeds budget allocation by 3 to 4 timesFunds 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 daysElectronic Transfers

In reality:Abnormal delay in releasing of funds by the

states (4-6M)

Electronic Transfer yet to be implementedUncertainty in release of funds to field level

agencies

Implementation:As per guidelines:Line Department/Project agency implements the programmeBeneficiary Committees at the work levelBringing professionalism in implementation of the programme

In reality:No subject expertise for Project DirectorsMany 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 weakNo role clarity between PRIs and line depts/Project Agency

Monitoring and Evaluation:As per guidelines:In-built monitoring mechanismOn-line monthly progress reportsFixed schedule for inspectionsUCs and Audited Accounts to draw 2nd installmentInvolvement of Universities and Research

Institutions

In reality:No frequent field visits by the supervisory officersNo role clarity because of multiple agenciesInadequate Redressal/responsive mechanismAbsence of Integrated Management Information

System(MIS)

Social audit not extended to all schemes

CONVERGENCE

Issues in convergenceReluctance 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 convergenceCentrality 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 guidelinesUniform 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
