Govt enhances fiscal empowerment of Panchayati Raj Institutions
The Administrative Council (AC), which convened here under the leadership of the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, approved the delegation of authority to Gram Panchayats, Block Samitis, and Zila Parishads for the administrative approval of the execution of works, the cost of which will be covered out of the Panchayats’ own resources.
The decision is a significant step toward empowering PRIs, as it will allow them to set their own priorities and help them complete projects on time using their own and panchayat resources.
In the backdrop of its mission to enhance the inclusive growth of rural areas in the Union territory, the government, through this decision, aims to promote self-reliance in financial matters.
Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar, advisor to the lieutenant governor, and Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, chief secretary, J&K, attended the meeting.
In order to promote the involvement of PRIs in the development process, the government has further empowered the Panchayati Raj Institutions financially. Following this decision, Gram Panchayats were given the authority to grant administrative approval for works ranging from Rs 1.00 to Rs 5 lakh, Block Samitis were given the authority to grant administrative approval for works ranging from Rs 5.00 to Rs 20 lakh, and the Zila Parishad was given the authority to grant administrative approval for works up to Rs 1 crore. The PRIs will be able to incur expenditures as per the General Financial Rules and guidelines related to AA, TS, and e-tendering.
