Productive Sector LOCAL GOVERNMENTS

8.16 Out of the total plan fund made available to productive sector by LGs, 83 per cent of fund was
earmarked to implementation of various schemes under agriculture and allied sectors in 2013-14
while it was 81 per cent in the previous year. The LGs have given more weightage to the agriculture
and allied sectors compared to industries, energy etc. The initiative of rural local bodies in this
respect is worth mention as there was considerable increase in their allocation as much as 84.59
per cent to this sector during 2013-14 while it was 83.26 percentage on previous year. The Grama
Panchayats have given major attention to the implementation of this programme and allocated 89
per cent their allocation to this sector. However, the performance of Block Panchayats is better in
the productive sector since they have spent 82.16 per cent of fund of their allocation to this sector.
The details of allocation and expenditure during 2013-14 is given in Table 8.3 and the percentage
