CM disburses Rs 1cr to each dist in Mizoram for local devpt plans

Aizawl: CM Lalduhoma on Monday disbursed the District Catalytic Intervention Plan Fund in Aizawl, allocating Rs 1 crore to each district to facilitate effective implementation of their respective district plans.

In his address, the CM said although district planning committees had been constituted earlier, no dedicated funds had been provided to implement their plans.


“For the first time in Mizoram, we are disbursing Rs 1 crore to each district to fulfil their prioritised projects,” he said. He emphasised that the govt is committed to empowering districts by enabling them to formulate their own development plans and by providing the necessary financial support to ensure their successful execution.

He described the initiative as a key component of the state govt’s flagship programme, Bana Kaih (hand-holding scheme). The district deputy commissioners (DCs) have been entrusted with substantial authority and project proposals have been prepared under their leadership. The success of the fund, he said, will depend on the responsibility and commitment of the DCs. “This is only the beginning. If we utilise the funds efficiently, further allocations can be made in the future,” he said.

The CM formally handed over the funds through bank cheques.
