INTRODUCTION

The Term of Reference of the Tenth and Eleventh Finance

Commission included consideration of the requirements of States for up-

gradation of standard of administration in non-developmental and social

sectors and services. Mizoram had considerable benefits out of the

recommendations of these two Commissions. Thanks to these specific

references, much needed infrastructure like Lengpui Airport, the only airport in

the State and the new Secretariat building could have been created with fund

made available by the Commissions. Although the term of reference of the

Twelfth Finance Commission did not include this consideration, the Commission

in its wisdom provided fund to tackle State’s specific need, namely a scheme to

tackle bamboo flowering and its resultant increased in the population of

rodents, which devastated crops in the fields that led to famine like situation in

the State. While we are obliged to express our gratitude, we nevertheless have

to point out that the Twelfth Finance Commission had turned down major

portion of our proposals.

Even though the term of reference of the Thirteenth Finance

Commission does not include this issue, it is our prayer and hope that the

Commission in its wisdom will consider grants to tackle State’s specific needs

on the basis of our just and reasonable demands. In fact, this time, we are

very optimistic that the Thirteenth Finance Commission favourably considers

our proposals. In this connection, it may be pointed out that the State

Government is facing financial problem in taking up plan schemes available

with the Government of India due to its inability to set aside huge amount of

fund to be used as State’s matching share. Hence, special grants made

2

possible by the Finance Commissions have become vital for a poor and newly

created state like Mizoram which is lagging behind all other States in respect of

infrastructure.

ESTABLISHMENT OF FISCAL AFFAIRS CENTER

AT AIZAWL UNDER THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Cost of the Project: Rs.18.71 Crore

1. Rationale: On page 25 of our main memorandum, we have mentioned that the

possible step towards ensuring the quality of expenditure (as per the para 6 (vii) of

the Term of Reference) would be building capacity in outcome budgeting or

performance budgeting together with the project appraisal even at hand holding level

at the State level. This issue of capacity building needs to be carefully examined by

the Commission since it has relevance with the fiscal consolidation process of the

State. The secular growth of the economy in the last four years have contributed to

higher tax buoyancy and higher devolution from the Centre as well as higher

realization of the State’s own revenue receipts. While the revenue deficit correction

had been largely revenue driven, expenditure rationalization and contraction have not

made significant headway. As a natural corollary of the business cycle and present

global melt-down there has been some discussion as to how effective a rule-based

fiscal regime can be in the event of down turn of the economy or slower pace of

economic growth especially when the negative and unavoidable effect have adverse

impact on the ability of States to meet fiscal performance targets while maintaining

development funding. Though the Government of Mizoram, so far, has been on tract

of the fiscal correction path, the fiscal stabilization could still require sustained efforts.

Mere rationalization and contraction of expenditure would not lead the State to the

desired goal. Better service delivery and ensuring quality of expenditure together with

efficient expenditure management accompanied by skill of revenue projection would

put the State to meet the future eventualities on a sustainable basis. At the State

level, there is still inadequate capacity for managing public finances which constraints

5

the implementation of sustainable programmes as well as the conversion of fiscal

intent into fiscal output, outlays into outcomes. Side by side, it is now felt for

considering a fiscal correction path that is more than just a series of fiscal metrics but,

a fiscal framework that would be based on two key factors to enable an objective ex

post facto evaluation of fiscal performance while at the same time ensuring an

accountable and credible fiscal policy. These two factors would be: (1) fiscal rules to

ensure sustainability while allowing short-run flexibility; (2) a multiyear spending

framework that sought to increase predictability and stability by allowing the

automatic stabilizer to operate in response to cyclical variation. Together, these

factors would provide the State Government with the opportunity to control

expenditure in a customized fashion while doing so in a medium Term Expenditure

Framework as an effective tool to control the expenditure linked to revenue

expectations and exogenous shocks. The urge of creating a Fiscal Affairs Centre as a

creature to aid the policy decisions and monitoring at the State level has, therefore,

emanated from the above apprehensions.

2. Objectives: The Fiscal Affairs Centre (FAC) is considered to be one of the key

institutional structures for promoting informed decision making within the State

Government and is expected to directly support the Department of Finance in their

fiscal analysis and policy inputs. Its primary mandate is to evaluate, on a continuous

basis, immediate, medium term and long term impact of fiscal policy, procedural and

regulatory decisions on the mobilisation, allocation and utilisation of public resources.

Depending on the perceived needs, among others, it may undertake the following

tasks:

• Promote Greater Analysis: Support a priori and ex post facto analysis of longer

term development perspective and distributional issues and the role of fiscal

policy to promote broad based economic growth.

6

• Data Management: Identify, develop, maintain and update necessary

database and information systems. Provide guidance in developing appropriate

management information systems to help integrate fiscal operations across

departments.

• Forecasts and Projections: Make forecasts and monitor fiscal trends to

facilitate early warning. Develop and revise baseline information.

• Facilitate and Promote dialog: Create forums such as networks, round tables,

workshops, seminars and training programmes to share analytical tools and

techniques and documents for both state level and national level fiscal issues.

• Outsource Expertise: Act as consultant and resource experts to other

departments in fiscal matters. Help build fiscal analytical capacity in other

departments. Support the third tier of the Govt. for information and analysis if

needed. Assists in drafting/updating manuals and guidelines.

3. Modus operandi:

The issues to be dealt by the FAC need sophisticated tools and

techniques as well as skilled man power. Initially these techniques and tools could be

acquired through implementable national and international best practices. Initially the

service of the experts would be hired for a specific period to provide hands-on training

and guidance to the selected officials to create a batch of trainers who would

subsequently be utilised for providing such techniques and services as per the need of

the state Govt. and to guide and train man power across the departments. This

procedure has been found effective in India as well as in abroad.

4. Proposed Area of Interventions:

The possible themes of interventions are underlined below. However,

these are not exhaustive and the menu may be enlarged and demand driven.

7

i. Performance Budgeting :

There is an increasing budgeting focus around the States not only in doing a

better job of forecasting and managing the fiscal aggregates (revenue and

expenditures), but also in ensuring that the government is getting good value for the

money it spends. Two of the key elements in determining the value for money focus

are correctly determining the level of service the government can afford and ensuring

that the government delivers its public services efficiently and effectively.

A key internationally recognized factor in slow economic growth is inefficiency

in public institutions. Inefficiency in government may result from slow and

bureaucratic procedures, duplication, lack of transparency, and ineffective

governmental programmes. Inadequate resources allocated to budget planning,

evaluation, and analytical studies of policy options can result in spending that is

inefficient and not in line with the preferences of either the government or the state’s

citizens.

Using modern budgeting such as a Programme and Performance Budgeting

(PPB) approach, the government can consider the outcomes of each of the major

spending programmes in its budget decision-making. The PPB approach encourages

the government to describe the public purpose of its programmes, set clear

objectives, and define measures of effectiveness.

Applying analytical techniques by comparing public policy priorities to

expenditure planning i.e., PPB, government decision-makers can better determine the

level of service it can afford. Decision-makers then can evaluate the trade-offs

between the cost and level of service to be included in the budget. This more

analytical approach considers the quality, availability, and value of public services and

can help ensure that the budget supports the government’s priorities.

8

ii. Medium Term Expenditure Framework :

Governments around the world are increasingly moving toward a Medium Term

Expenditure Framework (MTEF). These governments have found that considering the

budget by using a medium term (three to five years) approach is valuable in a

number of ways. This approach highlights the impacts of budget decisions on future

spending. Therefore, the medium term approach assures decision-makers that the

financial implications of their budget decisions are sustainable, at least in the medium-

term. The medium term approach can significantly affect both tax policy and overall

fiscal policy.

Many national governments around the world as well as many states in the US

already use this concept. International agencies have been promoting the concept of

MTEF in many developing countries including many of the states in India.

iii. Tax and Fiscal Policy Analysis :

Traditionally, many governments have had very little in-house capacity for developing

alternative tax policies and analyzing the implications of tax policy changes. Some

governments refer such tasks to expert committees that are set up once in several

years. A better alternative is to develop an in-house capacity to analyze tax and fiscal

policy options.

Many countries have recognized the need to develop their fiscal policy analysis

capacity. The focus of the finance departments have evolved over time from detailed

transaction analysis to broader fiscal policy analysis. With this change in focus, the

analytical units begin to study policy options, develop alternatives, and recommend

courses of action for consideration. With analytical units staffed with trained,

professional analysts, government decision-makers can begin to take advantage of

more analytically sound recommendations.

9

iv. Revenue Forecasting :

Accurately forecasting revenue is the basis of sound fiscal planning. Although

all governments monitor revenue collection with varying degree of sophistication and

varying levels of disaggregation (by commodity or taxpayer type), they often lack

advanced tools to prepare reliable revenue forecasts. Accordingly, governments make

revenue projections with inadequate data, on an ad hoc basis, and without using

advanced forecasting techniques.

Internationally, small, dedicated groups of highly qualified economists prepare

government revenue forecasts. Understanding the forces driving the economy and

applying the proper analytical techniques are critical factors. The use of sophisticated

revenue forecasting techniques relies on collecting adequate data and understanding

the structure of the economy over time. Even with better data, analysts will also need

to study the dynamics affecting revenue collections over time to produce better

forecasts.

Collaboration with non-government economists both in the private sector and

in academia can help to ensure that the forecasts can stand the test of careful

scrutiny. However, the ultimate test of confidence in these forecasts is the extent

government decision-makers use them to base their budget allocation decisions.

v. Debt Management :

The use of debt financing is an essential and necessary component of public

financing. The wise use of debt can ensure long-term stability and development;

uncontrolled use of debt can have the opposite effect. Effective debt management

includes developing sound public policies regarding debt financing, adherence to

parameters defined in policy, and constant monitoring of the use of debt. In addition,

Indian states have begun to access capital markets, a trend that will only accelerate.

The state has a financial stake in providing to the market that investment in its project

10

is sound. Governments that have a high credit rating pay less in interest on their

loans.

Many governments have a dedicated debt management unit that helps monitor

its creditworthiness and suggests strategies to improve credit ratings. The debt unit

can also help define sound, sustainable debt management and debt capacity policies.

It also can manage the issuance of debt and can recommend affordable debt limits.

vi. Project Appraisal :

Mizoram has enacted FRBMA. The State has been able to eliminate the

revenue deficits five years before the stipulated year of 2008-09.The surplus

generated on revenue account and the entire borrowed amount is being spent on

financing the increased capital outlay for creation of assets. However, the State has to

keep the fiscal deficit within 3 percent of the GSDP from 2008-09 onwards as per the

FRBMA. Besides, following the recommendations of the Eleventh Finance Commission

and the Twelfth Finance Commission, the Ministry of Finance has been imposing

global annual borrowing cap to the States which is kept in view by the Planning

Commission of India while finalizing the Annual Plan size and the scheme of financing

of the States. Therefore, the fund available to the State to finance the developmental

projects has been limited in comparison to the need and hence calls for judicial steps

by informed decision making for selection of projects.

While recommending the need for better expenditure management of the

States, the Twelfth Finance Commission observed “Issues of efficiency require

consideration whether the same outcome can be achieved at lower costs and whether

the same costs can produce better outcomes. Thus, the management of public

expenditures should be guided by economy, efficiency and effectiveness. “According

to the Approach Paper of the Eleventh Five Year Plan, the Planning Commission is

considering making it a firm condition that all proposals submitted to it must require

sufficient benchmarking before approval. It also plans to strengthen its evaluation

capacity by involving research institutions and civil society organizations which have

11

the capability of undertaking rigorous evidence based evaluation. The State

government, therefore, has to put in place a system for initiating measures for

appraisal, monitoring and evaluation of plan programmes as a counterpart action. As

per the expenditure assignments, the Indian States are responsible for most

infrastructure services except for telecommunication, civil aviation, railways and major

ports. Inadequate investment in infrastructure has constrained the growth and

development of the States. The States would need to strengthen their finances

through fiscal, structural and institutional reforms which would enable them to release

adequate budgetary resources as also enable them to mobilize funds more easily for

financing infrastructure. To generate sufficient fund the States are utilizing two routes

namely Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and Externally Aided Projects. In both the

cases careful planning is required to avoid loss of scarce resources. The State of

Mizoram, under the circumstances, would be in utter need for the techniques of the

project appraisal for informed decision making.

With bulk of the responsibilities pertaining to public expenditure on social

services placed in the domain of State Governments, it is widely recognized that the

level of social sector expenditure has important implications for the level of human

development. As per the millennium development goals prescribed by the United

Nations (UN) in 2000, the countries need to achieve targets particularly relating to

social sector by 2015. As most of the millennium development goals relate to social

sector, the States have a major role to play in reaching the targets by adequate

investments. Contrary to the traditional belief that if a social sector project is

economically sound, its financial analysis is of little consequences, the financial cash

flows are crucial for projecting the cash position of the project in the future and

determining if and when cash injections from the State budget would be necessary. If

the project can’t be implemented due to paucity of fund and lack of advance planning,

there is not going to be any economic benefit from the project. Thus, the use of

project appraisal techniques has been a necessity rather than an option to the

Government of Mizoram as the State would go for increasing social sector

12

investments. In order to equip and guide the selected officials of the various

departments of the State Government in the field of project appraisal techniques

initially the proposed FAC would hire experts on short term basis. Subsequently, once

the in-house expertise is developed by working with the hired experts, the FAC would

be able to guide the line department officials.

5. ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES:

General Considerations:

International experience illustrates that a fiscal analysis Centre should have

full-time dedicated staff of qualified and trained personnel if possible through in-house

training. The size of the FAC depends on resource and staffing constraints faced by

the Department of Finance. The ideal FAC organization should be part of the

Department of Finance. A central unit may provide superior analysis of the functioning

of the current and alternative fiscal policies. Such a unit can also bring discipline to

the budget formulation process. This approach can also strengthen the Finance

Department’s ability to present fiscal projections based on solid analysis of current

events. Collaboration between analytical units in several line departments can also be

effective. In the event of limitations on resources, there may be less specialization so

that the same staff may deal with both revenue and expenditure analysis.

Reporting and Accountability:

The FAC should have direct reporting and accountability to the officers who

can advise the government’s decision makers-those who have influence on the

planning, allocation, and direction of government resources.

13

Full-time Appointments:

The appointment of FAC personnel should be on a full time basis. Accordingly,

the analysts should have few ongoing responsibilities other than to perform their core

analytical tasks. Individuals assigned to the FAC should have a minimum tenure of 3

years; a more desirable tenure would be 4-5 years. Elevating state fiscal analysis

capability to viable standards requires careful selection of personnel. Identifying

sources of an effective human resource pool is a first step in establishing an FAC. The

needed resources may be pulled from the local university. Many of these new

employees will need significant training and mentoring in the new techniques. The

Centre would be headed by a full time Adviser who may directly report to the Finance

Secretary. Adviser may be assisted by a group of Working Analysts preferably at the

rank of Deputy Secretary/ Under Secretary.

International experience indicated that people perceive that these units are a

highly desirable posting, particularly for government officers early in their careers who

aspire to top management. It should be one of the most desirable postings for

employees internally, who could see it as a great way to boost their careers to greater

heights.

Hiring of Experts:

Initially to train the trainers and develop the manuals, hiring of experts of short

duration would be necessary till the local skill is built.

17

A PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF RURAL ECONOMY

OF MIZORAM Cost of the Project: Rs. 1200.00 Crore CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT: 1.1: Introduction: Mizoram, which was previously known as the Lushai Hills, and

later a Mizo Hills District of Assam had been a little known region until the advent of

the British in the late nineteenth century. The people enjoyed a simple tribal life and

it had no known contact with her neighbouring civilizations until the eighteenth

century. The British annexed the region in 1890, its northern region then called the

Lushai Hills was put under Assam while the southern region was put under Bengal.

The two regions were amalgamated into one district and put under Assam in 1898,

and it remained a district till 1972 when it became a Union Territory. Tremendous

changes have been taking place in the society since the occupation of the land by

the British in 1890. With the introduction of 'Land System' by the British, their semi-

nomadic life had been stopped. Modern education and christianity were

simultaneously introduced amongst these animistic tribal. After India gained her

independence, modern – democratic governance and its consequent party politic

emerged in the land, hereditary chieftainship was abolished; representative

government based on the system of universal franchise was introduced. At the same

time, the economy saw a gradual shift towards cash-based economy. With the

increasing contact with outside world made possible by modern communication

technologies, a simple tribal society of the Mizo was transformed into a culturally

modernized society.

1.2: When the district of Mizo Hills was found face to face with a severe famine due

to bamboo flowering and its resultant drastic increased in the population of rodents

that devastated crops in the late 1950s, there was wide spread discontentment

18

towards the performance of the then Government of Assam. That discontentment

resulted into a rebellion led by the Mizo National Front (MNF) in 1966. The insurgency

haunted the region for twenty long years till the Government of India and the Mizo

National Front signed a Memorandum of Settlement in 1986, and consequent upon

that historic settlement, Mizoram was granted statehood on 20th February 1987.

2: Socio-economic background: If economic development is to be identified with

the factory production of non-agricultural goods, or the substitution of man and

animal powers by inanimate powers in the process of production, no realistic

development has yet been achieved in the State. Rather, the State is virtually

dependent on imports, the cost of imports being met mainly with fund and assistance

received from the Central Government. With the absence of industrialization, 59.89

percent of the households still engaged in cultivation, and the dominant method of

cultivation is swidden, also called jhumming or slash and burn method of cultivation,

which is very unproductive and environmentally disastrous.

2.1: The general economic background of the state may be delineated with

the following points.

2.2: The economy of the state is mainly based on agriculture and allied

activities. However, it is based on primitive method of cultivation that resulted in

acute shortages of food grains production. The state is therefore, economically poor,

and it has to depend on resources received from the Central Government. The degree

of this dependency appears to be deepening. In spite of economic backwardness of

the state, appreciable achievements has been made in human resource development.

It has a literacy rate of 88.49 percent in the 2001 Census. However, with the absence

of industrial undertakings and a low level of trade and commerce in the state, the

Government is the only available organization that can provide employment

opportunities, especially those of white-collar jobs. With the limited absorbing capacity

of the Government, the state has been experiencing a continual increase of the

19

number of unemployed or under employed persons – both technical and non-

technical persons. The imbalance growth between human resource development and

economic modernization produces employment problems. Almost all the educated

populace of the state are trained in the traditional educational system in which the

students acquired the tendency to seek only white-collar jobs. Besides, the existing

system of education does not provide necessary skills and mental tendency for self-

employment. In view of the limited employment opportunities and lack of necessary

skills and mental preparedness for self-employment, the educated unemployed

persons of the state are becoming unemployable unemployed. Therefore, large-scale

introduction of vocational education and a touch of manpower planning seem to be

needed. If not, the consequences of the problem on the society will be too diversified

and can turn violent too.

2.3: The problem of development in Mizoram may be connected with the

followings:

1. Failure of economic planning in Mizoram: According to Lianzela

(Economic Development of Mizoram, Guwahati, Spectrum Publications, 1994), the whole

planning process in the context of Mizoram has been a failure and has not registered

any significant growth. The impact of overall planning on the state economy has

generated neither significant growth as to make it a continuous and cumulative

process because planning in the state has not taken into consideration local needs

and resource potentials. The failure of economic planning in the state might have

been connected, on the other hand, with the insurgency in the state that haunted

the region for 20 long years.

2. The introduction of grouping of villages in the state as a counter

measure to the activities of the then banned-Mizo National Front has lasting effects on

the society (see for details C. Nunthara, Impact of the Introduction of Grouping of Villages in

Mizoram, Guwahati, Omson Publications, 1989). Grouping of small villages into a larger

unit under the supervision of the Military as a counter-insurgency measure as done in

20

Mizoram during 1967-1970 was similar to the scheme launched by the British in

Malaya against the Chinese in 1958. The United States of America also launched it in

1962 to counter the Vietcong in South Vietnam. In all these cases, the powers

authorizing these measures were foreign powers against their foreign adversaries.

The application of the same scheme in India was a deviation, and it was against its

own people in its own territory. The scheme had resulted in the dislocation of

traditional self-sufficient economy which was based on swidden or shifting cultivation.

The traditional social organization was closely interrelated and intertwined with

shifting cultivation. Destruction of the traditional economy also led to the destruction

of their existing social organization. The result was "Social Crises" from which the

society could not fully recover yet. The social crises that have been connected with

the problem of economic growth of the people are:

(i) Destruction of self sufficient village economy as a result of increased

un-productivity of swidden cultivation due to shortages of virgin land and forced

labour under the Armed Forces and constant curfew which limited working time in the

field for people in the grouping centers lead to dependency of the people on relief and

essential commodities at subsidize rate provided by the Government in these grouping

centers. The result was an increasing dependency of the people on developmental

funds and grants for their own very survival that produced a socio-psychological state

of mind in which "the dependency on Government" for almost everything was the

dominant attitude. This mental inclination may be described as "dependency

syndrome". This dependency syndrome has far reaching effects on the people. Like a

vicious circle, this mental tendency and the economic poverty clutched the people

with an iron hand. However, the clutch of dependency syndrome has been on the

decline even though it still has significant influence on the rural masses as well as on

the urban masses. This extreme psychological dependency not only degraded the

quality of the labour force of the society but also posed serious impediment to

development. This has to be stopped by removing the economic poverty.

21

(ii) Over-emphasized value placed on material wealth, cash economy

and the failure of agriculture and related activities lead to the reduction of the status

of agricultural and manual workers in the community. This led to the general

tendency on the part of the people to seek white-collar jobs, especially those in the

administration in which one easily acquired certain degree of prestige and privilege in

the society. The same degree of prestige would be next to impossible if the same

person engaged in the unproductive agricultural or manual work. Therefore, the

educated manpower of the society is not available to the agriculture and allied

activities, the economic base of the state.

4. On the other hand, if rural economy of Mizoram is to be analyzed

within the theoretical framework of reciprocal interactions between economic

variables viz between the dependent variables and the independent variables that

shapes the economy, the problem has to be found in the realm of independent

variables. Dependent variables related to the questions – what kind of goods and

how much is produced, how are scarce resources like capital, land and cultural

values are mobilized, and how the products are distributed? By independent

variables, it relates to questions like how the level and composition of production,

the allocation of resources, and the distribution of wealth were determined.

Economic activities of the people are determined not by the

consideration of the law of supply and demand in the market or by its productivity but

by tradition. They engaged in agriculture because that is, and had always been their

occupation. As per Census – 2001 figure, the total working force of the state is

distributed as follows: 53.91 percent in cultivation, 5.85 percent are agricultural

labourers, 1.4 percent are engaged in household industries whereas 38.84 percent are

in other activities like service, etc. It means that almost 60 percent of the working

force is still engaging in Agriculture. To them, agriculture usually means cultivation of

rice supplemented by a few number of vegetables and pulses by the usual method of

slash and burn method. As the people have unlimited access to land through their

22

Village Councils, land is not a problem for them. The problem is in its use. Since

agriculture is their aged old occupation, transformation of agriculture and

allied activities into profit making enterprises seem to be the only solution

to the problem. At present, the absence of positive correlation between market and

agriculture resulted into poverty and a low level of motivation. At the same time, due

to the remoteness of the State, the diverse nature of its produce and the smallness of

the quantity of produce, villagers always find it difficult to market their produces.

Within this background, and as noted at para 1.4 of our main Memorandum, it is our

considered view that the Government of India is under obligation to provide fund

sufficient for reconstruction of rural economy of Mizoram not only because these

villages are integral part of India but also for the Government of India intentionally

destroyed the hitherto self sufficient traditional village economy and its social

structure through counter insurgency measure viz- inhuman grouping of villages

under the direct supervision of the Military.

3: Is there any alternative choice? The hitherto various developmental schemes

introduced by the Government of India through the Ministry of Rural Development,

etc fail to achieve the objectives of eradication of poverty (see for example North

Eastern Council sponsored study- Poverty Eradication in North East Region, NIRD-NERC,

Guwahati, May 2008). It will not be necessary for us to go in depth about the failure of

poverty alleviation programme of IRDP and its related schemes, and much could not

be expected from Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) to have wide spread

effects. Similarly, the wage employment programmes like EAS, JRY and SGRY could

not have provided mandays sufficient to have significant impact on the economic

poverty of the people. Likewise, the impacts of IWDP, Hariyali and allied schemes are

to be felt yet and it seems insufficient to meet the felt need of the people. Hence,

statistics showed no realistic improvement in the living standard of a larger number of

people living below poverty line. In term of percentage to the total population, the

number of people living below poverty line has drastically declined while the actual

number remains stable showing no sign of decline. In 1973-74, people living below

23

poverty line were 50.32 percent whereas the actual number was 182,000 persons. In

1999-2000, the percentage of people living below poverty line was 19.47; the actual

number remained 186,000 persons (Basic Rural Statistics – 2001, New Delhi, Government

of India, Ministry of Rural Development. pp.31-6). At the same time, the State

Government’s sponsored scheme- New Land Use Policy (NLUP) which was launched

decades ago with the noble objectives of both economic upliftment of the people and

stoppage of jhum cultivation also failed most probably because of lack of

preparedness on the part of the people due to the dependency syndrome. The

Mizoram Intodelhna Project (MIP) conceived as the improved version of the NLUP,

which was introduced in 2002 was also a failure due to lack of funding. Presently,

there has been initiative to take up the World Bank sponsored rural development

scheme. However, the coverage of this scheme is very limited as only one district,

namely Mamit district is tentatively targeted to be covered with this World Bank

sponsored scheme. While the country has witnessed the unprecedented economic

growth in recent times, it is a proven fact that a trickle-down process did not lead to

eradication of poverty. But while there is no gigantic scheme to directly address the

problem, this special development project seems to be the only option with which the

Government shall address the problems of the people of the State.

4: OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT: The Project aims at providing profitable and

sustainable self-employment opportunities to the poverty stricken jhummia families in

a manner suited to them, while in the process, it will thereby gradually end the

environmentally hazardous practice of jhum cultivation. The project will also empower

the grassroot level local governance. As virgin land is no longer available for

jhum/shifting cultivation and whereas its environmental impact of the practice is

destructive and whereas sustainable self-employment viable to the masses of the

tribal seem related to agriculture related activities, it is proposed to encourage and

incentivise settled farming by way of gradually changing the barren jhum land into

market oriented agricultural and horticultural farms. At the same time, the project will

24

make arrangement for profitable marketing of produce. Therefore, the project has

two main components:

i. Development of agriculture/horticulture: Increasing productivity will be

the main objective and this will be individual household oriented

scheme. It will consist of land development and actual production.

Where land suitable for wet rice cultivation is available, the project will

assist individual household to develop land and to cultivate short

duration HYV crops so as to enable the farmers to cultivate crops in his

field during both rabi and kharif periods. Where wet rice cultivation is

not viable, horticulture will be taken up. This will include land

preparation, development, actual plantation/cultivation, production and

may also include construction of water storage tank wherever viable for

the purpose of watering fruit trees and other horticultural crops.

Horticultural crops found suitable for the State, which are also

marketable like squash, banana, pineapple, passion fruit, chili, turmeric,

large cardamom, ginger and also floriculture will be taken up.

Depending on the choice of individual farmers, sericulture farming like

promotion of integrated plantation and rearing of Eri or Muga culture

and even cultivation and production of medicinal and aromatic plants

will also be permissible. A maximum of Rs. 1.00 lakh is envisaged for

each individual household taking up average area of 2 hectares of land

under the scheme. However, actual amount released to the individual

farmer will be based on amount of work executed by him/her. Fund will

be released to the farmer only after the Village Level Project

Implementation Committee (VLPIC) to be constituted and the Village

Council that will function as the Executive Committee of the VLPIC are

satisfied with the work done. The decision of the VLPIC shall be final.

The estimated one lakh jhummias are targeted, and the total fund

requirement for this component is Rs. 1000 Crore.

25

ii. The second component of the project aims to secure profitable

marketing within or abroad. It consists of collection, grading, processing,

and packaging (if needed) of produce and marketing. The State

Government may implement this component through its PSE namely the

Mizoram Food & Allied Industries Development Corporation (MIFCO) and

Mizoram Agricultural Marketing Corporation (MAMCO). For this, a

minimum fund of Rs.200 Crore is proposed.

5: PROJECT COVERAGE:

Even though the Project will prioritize coverage of all rural households engage in jhum

cultivation; the whole State will share the benefit in one way or the other. The

targeted beneficiaries are rural households who are engaged with jhum cultivation,

and who are both able and willing to take up the scheme. For the purpose of this

scheme, 1 lakh jhummia families who are willing to take up the scheme will be

targeted.

6: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT COMPONENTS:

The project will consist of post-work execution financial assistance to individual

households on the basis of work done, which will include land development,

plantation, maintenance of field for a specific period and actual harvesting. It would

also include marketing and related activities within and abroad including collection,

transportation, processing, packaging, etc through the Public Sector Enterprises

having necessary assets (e.g MIFCO and MAMCO). Marketing activities may also

include consideration of subsidies on price and transportation. A small portion of fund

from this component may also be set aside for training and administrative purpose.

Details will be worked out by the State Government once the project is approved in

consultation with experts from bodies like the Planning Commission, NIRD,

Universities and other Research Institutes.

26

7: PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT: At the State Level, a State Level Project Implementing Authority (SLPIA) with the

Chief Minister as its Chairman will implement the Project through the Village Councils,

the grass-root level self government in the State. Hence, the Local Administration

Department will be the Nodal Department. The proposed SLPIA will have four levels

of Committees, which are as follows:

7.1: Village Level Project Implementing Committee (VLPIC).

There shall be a Village Level Project Implementing Committee to be formed by the

concerned villagers. Assembly of all adult members of the village (Gram Sabha) will

be the General Body of the Village Level Project Implementing Committee, and the

Village Council will act as the Executive Committee. The full sitting of the VLPIC (Gram

Sabha) shall select the beneficiaries at the village level, and the decision of the VLPIC

shall be final, and it shall not require approval of any other authority. All works under

the Project shall also be executed through this Committee. The Executive Committee

shall sit every fortnight, and shall also convene the General Body Meeting every

month to review and discuss all works executed within the village. All information-

financial or physical connected with the Project shall be made known to the Village

Level Project Implementing Committee and its General Body Meeting. The State

Government will make available technical personnel whenever needed. The VLPIC

may also constitute a sub-committee which may be styled as Zau Committee users

level committee) to look after specified areas within the village. The decision of the

VLPIC is final. Fund for execution of work shall be directly made available to the

VLPIC by the Nodal Department (Directorate of Local Administration Department) by

Account Payee cheque, and the VLPIC shall have Saving Bank Accounts in the nearest

scheduled Bank to be jointly operated by the Village Council President (VCP),

Treasurer of the Village Council and another one person to be selected by the Gram

Sabha. The procedure of the VLPIC shall follow, as far as practicable to the State, the

provisions of the Field Manual prepared by the National Institute of Rural

27

Development (NIRD) under IWDP (pre- Hariyali). The power and responsibility given

to the VLPIC shall not be negotiable.

7.2: Block Level Project Implementing Committee (BLPIC). Composition of the Block Level Project Implementing Committee will be as

follows:

Chairman : SDO (Civil) concerned Member Secretary : BDO concerned Members (1) All Presidents of Village Council (VCP)

(2) Sub-Divisional heads of all concerned Departments.

Terms of References: The Committee shall be responsible for imparting skill

training and to ensure that the VLPIC receive technical assistance from technical

functionaries available within the Block.

7.3: District Level Project Implementing Committee (DLPIC):

Composition of the District Level Project Implementing Committee will be as follows: Chairman : Deputy Commissioner Member Secretary : District Local Administration Officer Member 1) All VCPs 2) All SDO/BDO concerned 3) District Head of all concerned Departments. Term of References: (a) It shall be responsible for distribution of number of household to be covered in

each village within the district. However, it shall have no authority to select the actual

beneficiary.

(b) Review of progress of the project. (c) To ensure that the Village Councils receive all necessary technical assistance. (d) To co-ordinate marketing and related activities at the District level.

28

7.4: State Level Project Implementing Authority (SLPIA): Composition of the State Level Project Implementation Authority will be as follows: Chairman: Chief Minister Members: 1) Chief Secretary and Principal Secretaries/Secretaries of all concerned Departments

2) All Deputy Commissioners Term of References:

(a) It shall decide on the number of household to be covered in each district.

(b) It shall be responsible for review of the progress of the Project. It shall ensure that the Village Councils implement the project without any hindrances.

(c) It shall be an empowered group, responsible for effective

monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the Project.

(d) Co-ordination of marketing related activities.

8: MONITORING:

The SLPIA shall function as the Monitoring Cell in respect of marketing and

related activities whereas the Village Level Project Implementing Committee shall

function as the Monitoring Authority for all other activities. At the village level, social

auditing method shall be followed.

9: PROJECT COST:

Fund is required separately for development of settled agricultural/horticultural

farms and for processing and marketing of produce. It is roughly estimated that

marketing and processing related activities shall require Rs.200.00 Crore @Rs.5.00

Crore per district per year for five years {(5x8)x5}. This will include training and

administrative cost for which 10 percent of this component may be reserved. It is

29

estimated that 2 hectares of land will be suffice for one individual household. It is

further estimated that Rs.1.00 lakh will be required for development of estimated 2

hectares farm, including of actual plantation of crops and fruit trees, harvesting and

all other related activities. The requirement for 1 lakh individual households is

estimated at Rs.1,000 Crore. Therefore, the total requirement is Rs. 1200

Crore.

Explanation:

Even though the scheme does not necessarily targeted BPL families; requirement is

mainly based on BPL population. While district-wise requirement of fund is calculated

on the basis of BPL Census-2002 conducted by the Directorate of Rural Development,

Government of Mizoram, the number of families to be covered in the district of Mamit,

Lunglei and Kolasib are determined to include the minority Brus families presently

residing in the transit camps in Tripura, and who are likely to be repatriated to these

districts (about 5000 in Mamit and about 400 each in Lunglei and Kolasib). In addition

to that, the two districts of Saiha and Lawngtlai where minority Lai and Mara are

concentrated are given priority by addition of one thousand families to each.

B Provision of infrastructure to Deputy

Commissioner`s Office at Lunglei.

2. Total Project cost : Part A Rs.22.47 Crore

: Part B Rs.2.888 Crore

Grand Total Rs.25.358 Crore

PART A:

While the Eleventh Finance Commission had granted Rs. 1700.00 lakhs for

the construction of the Offices and Residential Complexes for the five new Deputy

Commissioner's Establishments of Champhai, Kolasib, Lawngtlai, Mamit and

Serchhip districts, no subsequent Grants have been given for the provision of

infrastructure to the Civil Sub-Divisions created under these new districts as well as

those newly created within Aizawl, Lunglei and Saiha districts. Since it is almost

impossible for the State Government to provide fund for creation of infrastructure to

these newly created Civil Sub-Divisions, they could not function properly even after

ten years of their creation.

The newly created Civil Sub-Divisions needing the project are:

1. Vairengte, Kolasib District.

2. Kawnpui, Kolasib District.

37

3. Kawrthah, Mamit District.

4. W.Phaileng, Mamit District.

5. Saitual, Aizawl District.

6. Sakawrdai, Aizawl District.

7. Ngopa, Champhai District.

8. Khawzawl, Champhai District.

9. Thenzawl, Serchhip District.

10. N.Vanlaiphai, Serchhip District.

11. Hnahthial, Lunglei District.

12. Sangau, Lawngtlai District.

13. Tuipang, Saiha District.

Hence, the following proposal is submitted for the consideration of the

Thirteenth Finance Commission.

The Project

The Project is based on the assumption that the following skeletal staff will be

placed in each Sub-Division-

1. Sub-Divisional Officer - 1

2. Sub-Deputy Magistrate - 1

5. Lower Division Clerks - 6

6. Computer Operator - 1

7. Group D staff - 6

8. Driver - 2

9. Strong room for use in Election - 1

38

Accordingly, buildings will have to be constructed to accommodate the

offices, strong room for use in election to store Electronic Voting Machines and

residences of the officers and staff of the 13 newly created Sub-Divisions for which

the following expenditures are estimated –

PART B:

1. Name of project : Provision of infrastructure to Deputy Commissioner`s Office at Lunglei.

2. Total Project cost Part B: Rs. 288.80 Lakhs (Rs.2.888 Crore)

Justification: The District Administration of Lunglei was set up in the year 1972 with

Lunglei as its headquarters. The District is one of the oldest in Mizoram. There are 32

(Thirty two) quarters at present. Most of the quarters were constructed during the

1970's and have now reached 30 years of age. The quarters are utilized to

accommodate the officers and staff not only of the Deputy Commissioner's Office but

of other District Offices as well. These quarters had been built with wooden

structures, which, under the high humid condition of the area, have been deteriorated

by weather and infestation with rodents and termites since long, rendering the

buildings worn out, dilapidated and hardly habitable. Though re-construction of these

quarters had been contemplated in the past years, the process could not materialize

due to financial constraint. All these quarters had therefore been repaired a number

of times with the meagre fund allocated under 'Minor Works' of the Non-Plan Fund in

the Annual Budget. With the absence of sufficient fund for proper repair and due to

effects of climate, these buildings become beyond economic restoration.

It is now, therefore, proposed to re-construct the quarters by

constructing multi-flat / multi-unit RCC buildings which would accommodate a number

of households, instead of single unit-buildings, so as to utilize the available funds and

space in a most economic and beneficial manner. This would greatly help in

strengthening the District' Administration of Lunglei District to smoothly carry out its

multifarious duties and responsibilities by enabling the officers and staff to pay

undistracted attention to their respective duties, and in the meantime, in saving the

State's budget from recurrent expenditures arising from annual maintenance of the

quarters in future as well.

PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF JAILS IN MIZORAM

PROJECT COST: Rs. 49.40 Crore

Introduction: Under the Modernization of Prisons, construction of three new District

Jails and one Sub- Jail were taken up but they could not be completed during

the last five years due to insufficiency of Fund. Not only that, the Sub- Jail

constructed at Tlabung since long time is not yet completed due to lack of fund.

The Government of Mizoram felt it necessary to urgently complete the three new

District and two Sub- Jails which are under construction, and to make them functional

immediately as the existing Jails are seriously inadequate to accommodate inmates.

Following the separation of judiciary from the executive, judicial magistrates/ civil

judges are already functioning in these new districts and sub-divisions. With the

absence of jail infrastructure and inadequacy of existing ones, the judicial

administration of the state is in jeopardy. Therefore, this proposal is submitted to the

Commission for favourable consideration.

The schemes are proposed under the following components: 1. COMPLETION OF THREE NEW DISTRICT JAILS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND TWO SUB-JAILS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 2. IMPOVEMENT OF LIVING CONDITIONS OF INMATES. 3. INITIATIVES ON CORRECTIONAL SERVICES. 4. TECHNOLOGY ENABLED PRISON MANAGEMENT. 5. PROCUREMENT OF VEHICLES.

D. PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SERVICES IN HOSPITAL &

MEDICAL EDUCATION

I. PREAMBLE A. Mizoram is a far flung area of the country with limited access to the rest

of the country. It is sandwiched between Myanmar in the east and

Bangladesh in the west. Its population growth is one of the most

favorable in India. The primary health care facilities in the State are fairly

good and it may be one of the best in the country. However, the tertiary

level care is seriously lagging behind. Due to this, the State government

and the people as a whole incur financial loss for their medical treatment

outside the State.

B. Health is a fundamental and integral part of productive life, development,

quality of life and a major social investment. It is intersectional and

involves individuals, families, communities, states and nation. It is an

accepted social goal all round the globe.

C. With the increasing of population, bad communication, infrastructure

requirement, the existing health care infrastructure at the 7 Hospitals, 12

CHC's and 57 PHCs in the state are not adequate to meet the health care

of the people. Moreover, patient who require surgical intervention,

whether it is general operation, gynae and obstretrics surgery, eye, ENT

including emergency life saving operation are sent mostly to Civil Hospital,

Aizawl the State capital at a great distance from the villages. In the

interior, improvement in existing hospitals, setting up of new hospitals and

Sub-Center in various Districts and Sub-Divisions are badly needed.

D. Similar to rest of the country, the state is also facing progressive increase

in the non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases,

53

diabetes with their complication, cancer etc. These are attributable to the

increase in the average life expectancy from 37 years in 1947 to 62 years

in 2000 AD. Besides, the socio-economic conditions and changes in dietary

habits are also contributory factors. Mobility of the public is increasing and

rural connectivity is also improving. As a result of this, movement of man

and material are no more on foot but by vehicular traffic and other means

of transportation. Hence, road traffic accidents are also increasing rapidly.

E. Because of the above mentioned factor, there is growing demand for

better health care facilities. The increasing demand for hospital based care

may be attributed to the following reasons -

1. Increasing awareness of the value of health by the population.

2. Improving health seeking behavior of the population

3. Improving economical position of the population

4. Improved road communication

5. Improved health facilities in the hospital.

Proposal No 8: ESTABLISHMENT OF CORONARY CARE UNIT AT CIVIL HOSPITAL, AIZAWL.

PRESENT SITUATION IN MIZORAM:

With a total population of about ten lakhs, the State of Mizoram is experiencing

increasing trend of cardiac related cases which are referred from various parts of the

state to Aizawl Civil Hospital at the Capital City. From this Hospital serious cases are

referred out of the State much to the hardship faced by the patient in terms of

physical sufferings, wastage of valuable time for continuing treatment, financial

burdens and economics loss to the Government exchequer.

CORONARY CARE UNIT: Justification: Cardiovascular diseases are assuming increasing importance

among the adult population in both developed and developing countries. The

prevalence is showing an upward trend in most countries including India and for

several reasons this trends is likely to increase. For one reason, life expectancy os

increasing and a great number of people are living to older ages and are at greater

risk to cardiovascular diseases. For another, the lifestyle and behavioral patterns of

people are changing rapidly, this being favourable to the onset of heart diseases. The

impact of cardiovascular diseases on the lives of people is serious when measured in

terms of loss of life, disablement, family hardship, poverty and financial loss to the

country. Modern medical care is now enabling many with cardio Vascular diseases to

survive and lead an extended life with the advancement in approach to patient care

and better infrastructure. Specially equipped ambulances to provide transportation

services to heart patients that would be on standby in readiness for the entire land

and breath of the state. This will also go a long way in minimizing the loss of life,

hardship and financial loss etc. The provision of special cardiac ambulance will provide

quality care even during transportation to specialized centres. This will also help to

meet any emergencies met by VVIPs of Central Government visiting this region and to

VVIP of the State Government besides providing services to the public.

Proposal No 10 : UP-GRADATION OF STATE MEDICO LEGAL CENTRE AT CIVIL HOSPITAL: AIZAWL, MIZORAM

SUMMARY OF ESTIMATE 1. Mortuary Equipments Rs. 34,70,000.00 2. Laboratory Instruments Rs. 46,60,000.00 3. Building Rs. 37,20,000.00 4. Contingency & Maintenance Rs. 3,60,000.00 Grand Total Rs. 1,22,10,000.0 Introduction Incidence of crime has increased remarkably in the present day society. Due to complexities of life in a modern society undeniably, the rate and quality crime has increased remarkably. The technical knowledge of an average man too has increased and thus, crime techniques are getting more and more refined. There is therefore, urgent and widespread need for the application of forensic medicine and Toxicology in criminal investigation. The investigation authority in India and the world over has strongly felt that medical legal work had a vital role to play as a supporting scientific service in raising the standard of police investigation. The Government of India has constituted the Central Medico-legal Advisory Committee way back in 1958 to advise and Central and State on matters pertaining to medico legal practices. The committee stressed the need of training in forensic medicine and recommended creation of separate cadre of Medical Justice in the State and participation of forensic Medicine experts in crime scene investigation. Then in 1962, the Mudaliar Committee also recommended the creation of a separate cadre of specially trained Medical Jurists to look after the Medico Legal works of the state. Since not much work was done in this regard either by the Central or State Government due to shortage of trained hands, a standing Committee on Forensic Medicine was constituted in the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Committee strongly felt that Medico Legal work had a vital role to play as a supporting Scientific Service in raising police investigation standards throughout the country. They also felt that Medico legal Centres should be started and Medico Legal Service should be improved and strengthened at District levels and at Medical colleges having Forensic Medicine department. This was conveyed by the Director General of 1 leal 111 Services in his letter to all Health Secretaries vide letter No.Z.28025/137/80-11 dated 20.3.1982. In the 9th meeting of the standing Committee on Forensic Medicine held on 16.11.1933 in the office of Director, BRPD, New Delhi, it was recommended to set up Regional Medico legal Institutes in the State Capitals.

PRESENT SET UP IN MIZORAM Mizoram occupies a unique position in the country by being the 2nd highest literate state which has translated into tremendous awareness on the part of the individual about their legal rights and its enforcement by the application of forensic services in dealing with various criminal investigations. However, this has been handicapped by the absence of Forensic experts in the state for a long time. Now, with the availability of Forensic Expert Services in the State, the Government of Mizoram has taken great interest and initiative in the establishment and up-gradation of forensic Medico Legal services in the State. While few states in the country takes active steps in fulfilling the recommendations made by various Committee set up by the Central Government in improving and strengthening the Forensic Medico legal Services, it is a welcome note that Mizoram, though very young in existence as a state, is one of these few states which takes deep interest in the advancement of the service. This is evident by the creation of the office of Medico legal Adviser to the Government cum Police Surgeon with the appointment of Forensic Medico Legal Expert to the post. The State Government also established State Medico Legal Center at Civil Hospital, Aizawl to supervise and coordinate all Forensic Medico legal Services in the State including framing to various investigation agencies. (Ref. NoA.12034/1/97-HMP dt 26.6.2003) and acting as a referral centre from all over the State.

All these initiatives are very recent in its origin which could be measured in months and therefore, needs establishment and development of infrastructure for delivering scientific forensic services. This could be achieved by providing improved mortuary complex, forensic laboratory, library and museum with Administrative complex and sufficient investigation system in the State. This project is made and submitted in partial modification of the preciously submitted proposal which is found inadequate to meet the demand of the changing scenario as the state Government itself took fresh and greater initiative to render wider and modernized forensic service to the public. The creation of the state Medico Legal Centre based at Civil Hospital, Aizawl is one of the manifestations to this effect with minimal infrastructure and hence the submission of this project for its modernization and upgradation. The present Forensic Infrastructure at Civil Hospital, Aizawl dates back to some 30 years and in a dilapidated condition without provisions for Scientific Laboratory Services Library, Museum or arrangements for crime scene investigations. The existing set up may be enumerated as below:- Definition: Mortuary is the place where dead bodies are kept before burial where as morgue is a place where dead bodies are kept in the refrigerated body store and examined in the post mortem room.

78

Functions of Mortuary:

1. To preserve dead bodies until burial can be arranged. 2. To provide a place for the Forensic Pathologist to investigate cause of

death and make scientific investigation. 3. To provide a place for display and viewing for identification of

unidentified dead bodies by the public. Introduction: Mortuary is an important place in a hospital which had been neglected for a long time with primitive facilities for body preservation and autopsy performance. In the concept of modern hospital, it is regarded as an important component and a sensitive area in terms of public relations of the hospital. Sanctity of the dead is a universal concept and is immediately related to the cultural background of the community. Therefore, recent trend is to remodel the mortuary with modern facilities to render social service and delivery of justice to the public by conducting scientific investigations on all medico legal cases. PRESENT SET UP AT CIVIL HOSPITAL Mortuary Complex: It consists of two components – Post Mortem Room and Public Waiting Shed Post Mortem Room: The mortuary complex consists of a single room post

The establishment of this laboratory will therefore be immensely benefited by the public at large.

Proposal No 11: UPGRADATION OF SCHOOL OF NURSING AIZAWL INTO COLLEGE OF NURSING Project Cost: Rs.55,558,097.00

There are four (4) Nursing Schools in Mizoram State and about 100

student nurses passed out with diploma in nursing every year. These Diploma holders

are not willing to seek employment outside the state and abroad. There are so many

unemployed diploma nurses in the state, if we continue to train diploma nurses, these

unemployed nurses may create difficulties in future. At the same time, B.Sc (Nursing)

Graduates are efficient and confident to seek employment outside the State and

abroad e.g. B.Sc (Nursing) from RIPAN are employed in various Hospitals in the

country and abroad and thus contributing to the State income. Therefore, one of the

Nursing Schools (Aizawl) need to be upgraded as Government of India policy.

Government of India constituted a High Power Committee on Nursing in

1998 for the development of nursing profession and to improve quality of nursing.

The Committee recommended the following points and the Govt. of India also

approved the following:

a) There should be two levels of Nursing Personnel viz. Professional Nurse

(Degree level) and Auxiliary Nurse (MPW). This is International accepted

pattern of Nursing Education.

b) All existing School of Nursing with entrance qualification of 10 + 2 (Arts or

Science) should be upgraded to College level in phased manner.

The Trained Nurses Association of India Council Meeting in 1973 approved by

Executive Meeting in July 1976 on Nursing Education resolved that….

86

1) School of Nursing conducting GNM programme especially those School

which are attached to State Hospital should be upgraded to College of

Nursing in phased manner.

2) All the School of Nursing in the country should be upgraded by the year

2005 A.D.

The Indian Nursing Council letter F.No.22-6/2001-INC dated 28th

Feb.2001 informed all the State Governments its resolution of its meeting held on

22.12.2000 that from the year 2005 Indian Nursing Council will not consider any

proposal for opening of new GNM School and the Council will work out the strategies

that all the School of Nursing be converted into College of Nursing. The Council also

requested to take immediate steps for up-grading School of Nursing to College of

Nursing.

JUSTIFICATION:-

1. B.Sc (Nursing) graduates will be able to assume responsibility in the primary,

secondary and tertiary cares of the people as professional nurse. They are

capable of teaching and supervising appropriate nursing and Health care in

different settings and participate in the administration of nursing services and

education.

2. They will be competent in the skill and techniques of nursing based on

concepts and principle from selected areas of physical, biological and

behavioural sciences. They will also be able to demonstrate leadership quality

and decision making in various situations.

87

3. In foreign countries and also in some states within the country, nurses not

having degree (i.e. having diploma only) are recognized as qualified Nurses. In

view of current unemployment problem faced by the country, producing

qualified nursing graduates capable of serving or seeking employment outside

the country is essential, also as a human resources development of the State.

4. Existing entrance qualification in respect of GNM Course is 10+2 (Arts) with

duration of training period of 3 yrs. Whereas B.Sc (Nursing) is 10 + 2 (Science)

with 4 yrs. Duration of training period. There is only one-year difference in the

course duration. It shall not be a problem to change the entrance qualification

or to extend the period of training to 4 yrs. if GNM course is upgraded to a

degree status.

5. The State Referral Hospital, which is under construction, will require nursing

graduates with B.Sc (Nursing) degree. To meet the eminent requirement,

upgradation of the GNM School to College level and producing graduates

should be done as soon as possible.

6. The B.Sc (Nursing) graduates have foundations for further study and

specialization in nursing, and the demand is very high from abroad and within

the country.

BUDGETARY REQUIRMENT :- 1. 1st Year - Rs.105,33,159.00 2. 2nd Year - Rs.169,48,404.00 3. 3rd Year - Rs.216,09,216.00 4. 4th Year - Rs. 64,67,318.00 __________________________________ GRAND TOTAL - Rs. 555,58,097.00

PROPOSAL FOR

CONSTRUCTION OF TREASURIES


89

PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION OF TREASURIES


As was already reflected in our topical notes, the Government is actively taking

up initiatives for computerization of Treasuries. A detailed Project Report has been

prepared for the purpose. It is intended that one Treasury will be computerized on

pilot project basis which will be replicated in all other treasuries. The exercise is

expected to be completed in a few years time. The proposed software for

computerization is COMPACT with connectivity to national data base E-LEKHA.

However, most of the nine treasuries in the state are not having permanent

structure buildings, and are housed in temporary structure buildings (Assam Type

buildings) with thin sheets of asbestos tiles as walling, which are in most of the cases

too small than required and occasionally dilapidated like the building where Aizawl

South Treasury is situated. Due to tropical climate coupled with the unsatisfactory

conditions of the existing Treasury Office buildings, weather alone will be a threat to

sophisticated electronics, not to speak of threat of theft, etc. It is, therefore, highly

desirable if all the nine treasuries are first provided with concrete buildings before

computerization is actually initiated. Besides, land is separately needed both for Aizawl

South and Aizawl North Treasuries. Aizawl North Treasury is presently operated in a

rented house while the dilapidated Aizawl South Treasury is presently accommodated

within a congested Deputy Commissioner`s Office Complex.

Therefore, the estimated requirement for construction of nine Treasury Office

buildings and requirement for purchase of two plots of land are submitted to the

Thirteenth Finance Commission for consideration of grant.

Total Project Cost: Rs. 7.805 Crore

92

PROJECT PROPOSAL: Construction of buildings for use as Office and residential quarters for Excise & Narcotics Department Total Project Cost: Rs. 7.805 Crore

Excise Department has been renamed by the Govt of Mizoram as Excise &

Narcotics Department with effect from 16th Oct' 2006. This Department enforces

the Mizoram Excise Act, 1973 with the Mizoram Excise Rules, 1983; the Narcotic

Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; the Assam Drugs (Control) Act,

1950; the Mizoram Liquor Total Prohibition Act, 1995 with the Mizoram Liquor Total

Prohibition Rules, 1996 and the Mizoram Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic

Substances Rules, 2004. Excise & Narcotics Department is a uniformed cadre which

performed duty for 24 hours a day in combating drug menace and crimes

connected thereto and offenders of Excise and Prohibition laws. As a Nodal

department, it made all out efforts by having Vigil over the city, towns and interior

places even along the Indo- Myanmar border to prevent entry of contraband

articles from across the 00rder. The Department is, therefore, equipped with Arms,

Wireless Radios, etc for its effective functioning.

Establishment: The Department has a separate Commissionerate at Aizawl

under the Commissioner of Excise & Narcotics, Mizoram. There are seven district

offices at Aizawl, Lunglei, Saiha, Kolasib, Champhai, Serchhip and Mamit each

under Superintendent of Excise & Narcotics. All district offices have one Excise &.

Narcotics Station each while Kolasib district has two stations at Kolasib and

Vairengte. There are Excise & Narcotics Prosecution Branches in the District

Magistrate Courts within Mizoram with Aizawl Prosecution branch as the main

branch which is under one Superintendent of Excise & Narcotics.

The total number of employees in the department as on August, 2008 is as under:-

Requirement of Office Building and Quarters: Excise & Narcotics

Department is a new born Department having no infrastructure worth mentioning.

The whole budget of the Department is under Non- Plan till now and that the

Department is unable to avail the Plan outlay formulated by the State Government.

This has created many problems in augmentation of the Department as fund

available under Non-Plan is too limited. However, out of the 8 (eight) administrative

Districts, Excise & Narcotics Department is now having 7 (seven) District Offices

headed by Superintendent of Excise & Narcotics mainly to deal with the problems

on the matter relating to Liquor and drugs trafficking and its abuse within their

respective jurisdiction. With the limited fund available, all these 7(seven) offices

except Aizawl District Office and Mamit District office are luckily accommodated in

our own buildings. The said Aizawl District Office and Mamit District Office are

functioning in the rented buildings thereby spending huge recurring expenditures

on house rent. This Department is having sufficient lands in the 7 (seven) District

Headquarters of Aizawl, Lunglei, Saiha, Champhai, Kolasib, Serchhip and Mamit

which are free from all encumbrances for construction of RCC building for Aizawl

District Office and Mamit District Office and buildings for accommodation of Excise

& Narcotics Officers and Other Ranks posted at different Districts along with their

families.

In view of the position stated above, it is felt necessary to construct two

office buildings for accommodation of Aizawl District Office and Mamit District

Office and also staff quarters at different Excise & Narcotics Stations which will be

94

in the best interest of the Department in the long run.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE OFFICE BUILDING OF

THE DIRECTORATE OF

INSTITUTIONAL FINANCE & STATE LOTTERIES

Project Cost: Rs.2.39 Crore

97

Project Proposal: Construction of Office building for the Directorate of

Institutional Finance & State Lottery at Tuikhuahtlang, Aizawl.


History & Necessity: The Directorate of Institutional Finance & State Lottery,

which is under the administrative control of the Finance Department is an important

revenue earning institution. The Directorate is occupying two separate buildings,

one of which is rented while the other one is of Government`s. However, owned

building is dilapidated and very small inspite of the availability of land for bigger

building. As such, it could accommodate only a small number of Officers and staff

which necessitate renting of private building. Therefore, this building is proposed to

be dismantled and reconstructed. For this, land is readily available and is free from

any encumbrance. The area of the plot of land available is sufficient to construct a

building which will be able to accommodate the whole staff and officers of the

Directorate. This will also reduce non-plan revenue expenditure as renting of

private building will no longer be necessary. However, the Directorate is wholly

under non-plan sector, and the Government of Mizoram is not in a position to make

fund available for the reconstruction. Therefore, this proposal is submitted to the

Thirteenth Finance Commission for their favourable consideration.

A PILOT PROJECT ON

RAIN WATER HARVESTING SCHEME AT

PHULDUNGSEI & KHAWHAI VILLAGES

A PILOT PROJECT ON: RAIN WATER HARVESTING SCHEME (RWHS) AT PHULDUNGSEI & KHAWHAI VILLAGES Project Cost: 1. Phuldungsei RWHS: Rs. 4.58 Crore

2. Khawhai RWHS: Rs. 3.93 Crore

Total: Rs. 8.51 Crore

Nodal Department: Public Health Engineering Department

CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND

1. Introduction: The aged old tradition of the people of Mizoram is to locate

their settlements on top of the hills, and this remains the practice till today not only

because of tradition but also due to absence of plain. This naturally leads to high

operation cost of water supply network. Water sources are usually at a very deep

valley at the range between 500 metres to 1000 metres below the settlements which

necessitated a high lift. Therefore, it is naturally required to adopt high head low

discharge pumping system which is contrary to system adopted in plain areas where

the system adopted is low head high discharge. Besides, the system requires high-

tension electrical mover, and the hilly terrain also required larger manpower strength

in comparison to the requirement in plain areas. These resulted into high operational

and maintenance cost. Due to this, the State Government is not in a position to

provide all villages with safe drinking water supply by pumping. In view of these

problems, there have been active efforts for initiating alternative method of water

supply. The technology choice is Rain Water Harvesting system. Mizoram has

abundant rainfall with a recorded average annual rainfall of 2500 mm. Rain water

harvesting from roof catchment by individual household have been common practice

for so many years in smaller villages. Considering different aspect like operation and

maintenance cost, its simple technology and ease of maintenance, acceptability of

the system etc, large scale rain water harvesting is considered to be the best option

for community water supply scheme at villages. Therefore, this pilot project for

101

rainwater harvesting scheme in two locations is submitted to the Thirteenth Finance

Commission for their favourable consideration.

1.1: Phuldungsei is one of the villages in Mamit District. It is located at 25’ to 30’ N

Latitude and 25’ E longitude. It is situated at Western part of Mizoram at a distance

of 140 Kms from Aizawl. Drinking water facilities in Phuldungsei is very poor. The

inhabitants mainly depend on the traditional water supply system predominantly

known as Tuikhur. But, these tuikhur were more or less dried up during the dry

season. As such, during the same period, emergency water supply by truck is

unavoidable every year. According to the latest census, i.e. 2001, there were 1593

souls. Phuldungsei is a rapid growing village. The present population ie 2008 is 1825

souls. The majority of the about 90% depend on shifting cultivation.

1.2: Khawhai and Chalrang are located at a distance of 184 km from Aizawl to

East Lungdar road via Khawzawl which is situated at 1480 meters above sea level

on hilly terrain. Most of the people depend on Jhum cultivation. Recently the people

started to grow Grape and Passion fruits which help them to earn more money thus

increasing their income. There are piped water supply scheme for Khawhai and

Chalrang by tapping water from different sources by gravitation and the present

level of water supply is 24 lpcd in Khawhai and 20lpcd in Chalrang. But during the

dry four month ( i.e February to May) when there is practically no rainfall, the

villagers face acute scarcity of water as all the sources dried up thus endangering

public health, general sanitation and environment due to lack of drinking water.

2. Problem to be addressed: As highlighted above, these rapidly growing villages

do not have secured sources of water supply. People rely mainly on rain water and

springs. Few hand pumps tube wells were bored. But those hand pump tube wells

were also dried up during the dry period due to the suspected ground water

depletion. Thus, we may conclude that the water supply level for these villages is

zero. Accordingly, this estimate has been proposed to supply safe drinking water at

the level of 40 litre per day per person.

102

3. Project objective: To increase the water supply level as per the national

norms of 40 lpcd and subsequently to:

* Improve drinking water supply.

* Reduce the incidence of water borne, water related diseases among the

communities.

* Provide sufficient quantity of water to achieve health and sanitation for all.

* Promote higher standard of living and more economic productivity

4. Target Beneficiaries: Providing sufficient safe drinking water to the whole

population including weaker section of the society is one of the Target Beneficiaries.

Employment generation, promotion of higher standard of living and more economic

productivity is the target to be achieved for the beneficiaries. Reducing the water

borne, water related disease among the communities is one of the target

beneficiaries for implementation of the water supply project.

5. Project Beneficiaries: The beneficiaries of the project are the whole

population of the villages. The water shall reach to each and every individual

household with the total of 1825 souls at Phuldungsei and 3444 persons at Khawhai

area. People will receive improved water supplies and all children in schools will get

improve water supply.

6. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COST RECOVERY: The villagers shall be

inspired to participate in Operation and Maintenance activities including 100% cost

recovery of expenditure on Operation and Maintenance.

7. SPECIFICATION AND RATES: The rates for the cost of construction are as per

PWD SOR 2007 and rate analysis wherever required. The works shall be

implemented as per the specification and drawings stipulated and also as per

direction of Engineer-in-charge.

8. ESTIMATED AMOUNT : Rs. 45,810,000.00 for Phuldungsei village

Rs. 39,348,000.00 for Khawhai village

2. KHAWHAI RAINWATER HARVESTING SCHEME: There is a natural pond located at the foot of Khawhai Hill which is about

20m above Khawhai. This natural pond has large catchment area of about 83,369

sq.m approximately. During rainy season, sufficient water is available from the

catchment area for storage in the pond. There is also spring source inside the

pond. The pond has two masonry walls in North and South site which hold the

water. The present depth of the pond is 3 meters average and the volume of water

is approximately about 13,200,000 litres. The volume of water can be increased by

increasing the height of the masonry Dam by 6 meters to accommodate the

requirement of water for four dry months which can supply water to Khawhai and

Chalrang at the rate of 70 lpcd.

108

2.1: STORAGE CAPACITY OF IMPOUNDING RESERVOIR: Design population = 4255 souls

Demand of treated water @ 70 lpcd = 4255 x 70 = 297850 lit/day

Requirement for 4 dry month = 297850x4x30 = 35742000 lit= 35742 kl

Considering 15% loss in transmission and treatment of water

Water demand = 35742= 42049 kl 0.55 Again considering 10% seepage & Evaporation and 10% dead storage

Capacity of Reservoir = 42049 = 52561 kl

2.3: DESIGN OF MASONRY WATER RETAINING DAM GIVEN:

1) Overall height of Dam = 6m 2) Weight of water = 1000 kg/m2 3) Specific weight of concrete = 2400 kg/m2

Assuming free board 5% of height Free board = 5 x 6 = 0.30m 100 Considering 1m length of Dam Vertical force:

a) Self weight of Dam (4.2 + 0.9) x 6x1x2400 = 36720 kg 2

b) Wt of water in column A A1B = 6x 1 x 1000 = 3000kg 2

c) Uplift force = 6 x 1000 x 4.2 = 6300kg 4 ∑V = 36720 + 3000 – 6300 = 33420kg

Horizontal water pressure ∑H = wh2 = 1000 x 62 = 18000 kg

2 2 Moment due to various force at toe Considering overturning moment as – ve and restoring moment as + ve

a) Due to self wt of Dam Moment = { ( 1 x 1 x 6 x 2400)(3.6+0.6) +(1x6x2400)(2.7+0.45)+(1 2.7 x 6x2400)( 2/3 x2.7)

2 3 2 = 27360 + 45360 + 34992 = 107712kg.m(+ve)

b) Due to column of water in AA1B

Moment = ½ (6x1x1000)(4.2 – 0.16 ) 3

= 12000 kg.m (+ve) c) Due to Uplift pressure

Moment = 6300 x 2/3 x 4.2 = 17640 kg.m (-ve)

d) Due to Horizontal water pressure = 18000 x 6/3 = 36000 kg.m (-ve)

∑M = 107712 + 12000 – 17640 – 36000 = 119712 – 53640 = 66072 kg.m (+ve)

Factor of safety against overturning. = MR = (+) M = 119712 Mo (-)M 53640 = 2.23>2 (safe) Factor of safety against sliding = ų∑V (assuming ų = 0.75) ∑H = 0.75 x33420 = 1.29 > 1 (safe) 18000 2.4 STONE MASONRY FLOORING: Stone Masonry flooring will be provided at the bottom to prevent seepage where water pressure is more.

2.5 WATER TREATMENT PLANT: Water Treatment Plant will be located near the pond which is 5m below pond level. Water will flow to the Treatment Plant from the impounding Reservoir by gravity with arrangement of valves to control flow of water. This impounding Reservoir itself will act as Plain Sedimentation Tank. The Water will then passes through slow sand filtration unit and disinfection units.

Design of Slow Sand Filtration : Design flow = 4255 x 70 = 350411.76 lpd 0.85 = 350.411m3/day = 14.6m3/hr Assume rate of filtration as 0.10m/hr Total area required = 14.6 = 146m2 0.1 Which is > 20m2 < 249m2

Provide 3 nos. of filter units Area of each unit = 146 = 48.66m2 3 Length : width ratio = 2:1

Provide filter unit 10m x 5m ( 50m2) 2.6 CLEAR WATER RESERVOIR: It is proposed to construct RCC Reservoir of capacity 3,00,000 litres near the

Treatment Plant. From this Reservoir water will be distributed to the four Zonal Tank

through feeding mains.

112

2.7 ZONAL TANK : In order to make distribution of water easier it is proposed to devide the entire

village into 4 zones as below :

1) Khawhai ‘S’ - 1,00,000 lits

2) Khawhai ‘N’ - 1,50,000 lits

3) New Chalrang - 50,000 lits

4) Old Chalrang - 50,000 lits

2.8 FEEDING MAIN: Different zonal tanks and storage Reservoir shall be interconnected with G.I pipes. 2.9 DISTRIBUTION NET WORK: DI/GI pipe distribution network shall be laid within the villages which will supply

water from zonal tank to the consumers. T-cluster shall be provided at different locations

from where consumers shall take private water connection.

2.10: SECIFICATIONS:

The rates are as per PWD SOR 2007 and rate analysis wherever required. The

works shall be implemented as per direction of Engineer-in-charge.
