Funding Pattern (NRCP) Centre : 70% State : 30% |
Objective: To reduce pollution load in major rivers. Outcome`: The STPs are commissioned within three years of
sanction. They would, on average,
treat raw sewage to prescribed discharge standards and at an average capacity
utilization exceeding 70%on an annual basis. |
355.00 (EAP 50.00) 309.20 |
A total of 564.43 million litres per day (mld) of Sewage
Treatment Capacity would be created through commissioning of 33 numbers of
Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). |
Sewage Treatment Plants to treat 106 mld. Sewage has been created. STP capacity of around 300 mld is nearing
completion. Balance STPs are in various stages of progress |
2005-2006 |

National Afforestation Programme Funding Pattern Center : 100% National Afforestation and Eco-Development Board (NAEB) Eco- Task Forces |
Objective: To increase forest cover. Outcome: 5 years after sanction, new plantations would, for each
bio-geographic region, show the prescribed survival rates. 6 years to 12 years, after sanction, depending on the
species, the new plantations would be revealed as either new area under
Forest/Tree Cover or enrichment of forest cover in Satellite Imagery. |

2005-2006 |
The outcome parameters mentioned in column 3 are new. Any plantation programme of the Ministry
had not been subject to these parameters in the past. Since these parameters are highly
technical, and difficult in view of the diverse ecology of the country, ICFRE
and FSI have been requested to prepare concept notes on the new
parameters. The concept notes have
been received. A national-level
meeting of States/UTs under the Chairmanship of DGF&SS on the development
of the mechanism, for application of new parameters is being scheduled
shortly. |
