2nd installment of IAY being released by end of this month, NREGA funds of 75 crores received

We have received Rs 2299.19 lakhs as 2nd installment under IAY this week and fund is being released by the end of October to all eligible GPs. Burdwan is only district in the state to have received the 2nd installment and 6th distict in the country to have claimed IAY 2nd installment within October. My sincere thanks to TEAM BURDWAN and all associated with the programme. Please gear up the system at GPs to disburse this amount on verification of house construction against first release. We must endeavour to claim additional installment by end of November 2010.

We have also received RS 7500 lakhs NREGA funds recently and are in a position to meet all the demands of PIAs where MIS expenditure against fund availability is more than 60 % or the total MIS against MPR expenditure is more than 80 %.

Wish all Shubh Bijoya and greetings of the season.

Patta distribution in all blocks on 4th October 2010

It is decided to do patta distribution on 4th October 2010 throughout Burdwan district at each block inviting public representatives and Panchayats. As per the preliminary reports available to us an area of 110 acres to 1014 beneficiaries is identified for distribution in 14 blocks. However, about 20 acres of land patta could not be prepared in Katwa subdivision as SDO office has not cleared the cases. All SDOs are requested to take a review with SDLLROs and see that all approvals are accorded well in time. Those who could not prepare pattas must fix another date of distribution of pattas before Puja vacations.

2. We could identify 45 acres of land for purchase under Chas O Basobaser Bhumidan Prokalpa in the district. It is noted that the process of land identification has not yet been completed in most of the blocks except Sadar South and few blocks of Sadar North. In other subdivisions the figure is NIL in most of the blocks. All blocks are reminded that minimum 5 acres of land each block is the target to be achieved before December 2010. SDOs may please follow up.

3. EWS scheme in urban areas is under implementation where vested land is required to be leased to economically weaker families for LT settlement for house construction. Jt Survey and meeting of the committee headed by SDO needs to be done effectively. So far little progress has been made in Durgapur, while the work on ground level is yet to start in other Subdivision. All Subdivisions conducted meeting of the committee except Katwa. SDOs please review the position.

These issues will be taken up during VC on 1st October 2010 at 4 pm with all SDOs.
