MLA/MLC’S
LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
MLA/MLC’s
Local Development Programme (previously known as Small Works programme
based on Felt Needs of the Districts) is being implemented in the
State since1984-85. The programme is envisaged to undertake small
works of local development (which do not get prominence and importance
in the District Plan and hence generally are neglected) and to
complete them within a short period of 1 or 2 years. Under the
programme, works such as small road works, missing links, small
bridges, primary school rooms, community hall, library buildings and
similar works costing upto Rs.10.00 lakhs and Kolhapur Type Weirs
costing upto Rs.15.00 lakhs are generally undertaken and are achieved
by Collector, Hingoli on the recommendation of MLA/MLC. Each MLA/MLC
can spent upto Rs. 80 Lakh in Financial year.
MEMBER
OF PARLIAMENT LOCAL AREA DEVELOPMENT SCHEME
A Centrally Sponsored Programme “Member of Parliament Local Ara
Development Scheme” (MPLADS) is being implemented in the State from the year
1993-1994, which is similar to the existing MLA/MLC’s Local
Development Programme. The Government of India has sanctioned a grant
of Rs.5.00 Lakhs to the District during 1993-94. per Member of
Parliament. From the financial year 1994-95 the amount was raised to
Rs.1.00 crore per parliament member and further it has been raised to
Rs.2.00 cores per Member of Parliament from the year 1998-99.
Small works based on
the needs of the people are to be taken from these funds as per the
guidelines laid down by the Government of India for this scheme. These
works are sanctioned by Collector on the recommendation of MP and
executed by implementing egencies.
HILLY
AREA DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
While formulating the Annual/Five Year Plan of the State, it was
observed that there are unique needs of the Hilly Areas in the State
which required special attention. The State Government, therefore,
appointed a Cabinet Sub Committee in October 1988 to identify hilly
areas in the State on the basis of prescribed norms and to suggest a
special programme for development of hilly areas.
The criteria adopted by the Committee for delineation of hilly areas
in the State was as under :-
i) A geographical
area must satisfy two conditions to qualify as hill area, namely
(a) It
should contain an area with an average slope of 30 percent or more
which may be designated as the core and
(b) the
relative relief of 300 meters or more;
ii) The entire
geographical area comprising the core and its geographical extension
with a slope of less than 30 percent but more than 17 percent may be
accepted as part of a hill feature for the purpose of delineation of
hill areas;
iii) All hill
features covering a geographical area of 100 Sq.Mm. or more may be
designated as hill areas;
iv) If the area
in a block accounts for less than 50 percent or more of its
geographical area the entire block may be designated as a hilly block;
v) If the area
in a block accounts for less than 50 percent of its geographical area
but forms a part of the compact hill feature of 100 Sq.Km. or more; it
may be treated as hilly sub-block;
Under this programme
there are two hilly sub-blocks one is Hingoli and another is Kalamnuri.
In Hingoli hilly sub-block 66 villages are covered and in Kalamnuri
hilly sub-blocks 40 villages are covered, totally 106 villages are
covered in two hilly sub-blocks in Hingoli districts.
