Kaliappan: State finance commission allots 10% of its funds for our panchayath. Minimum contribution will be also given from Central commission as direct funding. State commission gives minimum of 7lakh rupees to every panchayath. More funding will be given according to the population, count of backward people and landscape of village. Maximum of 20 to 25 lakhs per year is given. Central Govt gives fund in the name of project funding. Like Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, MGNREGA project, to implement such Central Govt schemes Central Govt gives direct funding. Other than this State Govt also fulfills some projects. For example Chief Minister Solar Powered Green House Scheme, Tamil Nadu Rural Roads Improvement Scheme. PM scheme and TN are both different. For all these we are getting separate funding. State and central Govt is giving funding for our and village development. Selecting the beneficiaries and making proper use of all the funding is the duty of each one of us. Narrator: Thank you sir. When we listen to your talk gram sabha we feel surprised and think whether is it true!! So far we were attending gram sabha 4 times in a year as a ritual. Just like voting we were thinking we just have to present physically. After your words we got to realise that gram sabha is the place to plan and finalize the schemes. Thank for spending your time and sharing your knowledge about gram sabha. Dear listeners so far whatever we have heard shouldnt vanish in air. Every one of us must take part in gram sabha on October 2nd.
