do not have any idea where money is coming from and where it goes.

Correct. Maybe MLAs and ministers need to go thru the same training regime as 
IAS/ACS.  Most of these peoples reps are not anything beyond matriculates and 
hence do not have the moral right to be ordering IAS officers around.

At a start - shall we say they dont know how or where the money goes becoz they 
dont understand abcd of finance or accounting?

P.s. In most cases we are talking about several crores of rupees here.

The ignorant fools in Dispur do not have any idea where money is coming from 
and where it goes. Is there anyone in Dispur who is keeping track of all the 
money earmarked for Assam and where it is supposed to be spent? I heard Tarun 
Gogoi say in Boston that a lot of the funds from Delhi are just promise, not 
real money. Whose responsibility is it to convert them to real money? I'd think 
the assam ministers and their IAS cadre have the responsibility.

Unused MLALAD funds to go to State exchequer
Not a single paisa of MLALAD funds was used during the fiscal 2006-07 in 
Dholai, Baitholangshu, Majuli, Dergaon, Jorhat, Bijni, Sidli and Dhemaji LACs 
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Oct 14: Massive “underutilization” and “unutilization” of cash 
released by the Planning and Development Department of the Asom Government as 
MLA Local Area Development (MLALAD) funds over the years has prompted the State 
Government to think to make the non-lapsable MLALAD funds lapsable i.e. 
introducing the system of the taking the unused money of the MLALAD funds back 
to the State exchequer. Besides exposing the lack of commitment on the part of 
the elected representatives of the State towards the development of their 
respective Legislative Assembly Constituencies (LACs), “underutilization” and 
“unutilization” of the released cash failed the very purpose of the MLALAD 
funds which had been introduced in the State by then Chief Minister Hiteswar 
Saikia in 1994.
According sources, the Additional Chief Secretary in-charge of P  D Department 
has prepared a note stating that the unused MLALAD funds will go back to the 
State exchequer. However, the Additional Chief secretary’s note is yet to be 
approved by the Chief Minister. The system prevalent at present is that the 
unused MLALAD funds are released for developmental schemes of the 
constituencies in the following financial year.
According to sources, from fiscal 2002-03 to 2006-07, the State Government 
released Rs 17,640 lakh as MLALAD funds, but Rs 3343.42 lakh of this amount 
remained unused. In the fiscal 2006-07 alone, the State Government released Rs 
3,780 lakh as MLALAD funds for its 126 Legislative Assembly Constituencies 
(LACs), but Rs 1283.42 lakh of the amount remained unused. The worst is that 
not a single paisa of MLALAD funds was used during the fiscal 2006-07 in 
Dholai, Baitholangshu, Majuli, Dergaon, Jorhat, Bijni, Sidli and Dhemaji LACs. 
Meanwhile, the P  D Department recently informed the district administration 
that Rs 3,150 lakh was released for the 126 LACs of the State at the rate of Rs 
25 lakh per LAC as the first instalment of the MLALAD fund for the fiscal 
2007-08. The department, however, made it clear to the deputy commissioners 
that all pending schemes up to 2006-07 have to be implemented as per the 
standing guidelines, and the entire amount released by December 31, 2007 has to 
be used. “If any funds of the previous years remain unused, that may be 
surrendered and deposited in the State exchequer,” the P  D Department said, 
and added: “The deputy commissioners should furnish the reports of completion 
of works along with unutilization certificates in respect of MLALAD funds to it 
in due course.”

funds will go back to the State exchequer. 
However, the Additional Chief secretary’s note 
is yet to be approved by the Chief Minister. The 
system prevalent at present is that the unused 
MLALAD funds are released for developmental 
schemes of the constituencies in the following 
financial year.
According to sources, from fiscal 2002-03 to 
2006-07, the State Government released Rs 17,640 
lakh as MLALAD funds, but Rs 3343.42 lakh of 
this amount remained unused. In the fiscal 
2006-07 alone, the State Government released Rs 
3,780 lakh as MLALAD funds for its 126 
Legislative Assembly Constituencies (LACs), but 
Rs 1283.42 lakh of the amount remained unused. 
The worst is that not a single paisa of MLALAD 
funds was used during the fiscal 2006-07 in 
Dholai, Baitholangshu, Majuli, Dergaon, Jorhat, 
Bijni, Sidli and Dhemaji LACs.
Meanwhile, the P  D Department recently 
informed the district administration that Rs 
3,150 lakh was released for the 126 LACs of the 
State at the rate of Rs 25 lakh per LAC as the 
first instalment of the MLALAD fund for the 
fiscal 2007-08. The department, however, made it 
clear to the deputy commissioners that all 
pending schemes up to 2006-07 have to be 
implemented as per the standing guidelines, and 
the entire amount released by December 31, 2007 
has to be used. “If any funds of the previous 
years remain unused, that may be surrendered and 
deposited in the State exchequer,” the P  D 
Department said, and added: “The deputy 
commissioners should furnish the reports of 
completion of works along with unutilization 
certificates in respect of MLALAD funds to it in 
due course.”

C-da,

Call it inference if you will - but I would say that you made this inference 
based on your opinion about Assamese  built over more than 60 years of your 
life - which perhaps changed to its present form AFTER you left Assam for good 
in 1969. Its not new - many non-residents tend to develop superior attitudes 
with regards to the land of their origin - your inference puts you in this 
category.

If you really are serious about making Assamese government more efficient you 
would do something positive about it - not just calling the people clueless and 
asking them to support ULFA's terror acts.

 GUWAHATI, Oct 14: Massive “underutilization” and “unutilization” of cash 
released by the Planning and Development Department of the Asom Government as 
MLA Local Area Development (MLALAD) funds over the years has prompted the State 
Government to think to make the non-lapsable MLALAD funds lapsable i.e.

to the State exchequer. Besides exposing the lack of commitment on the part of 
the elected representatives of the State towards the development of their 
respective Legislative Assembly Constituencies (LACs), “underutilization” and 
“unutilization” of the released cash failed the very purpose of the MLALAD 
funds which had been introduced in the State by then Chief Minister Hiteswar

 I am not serious, I just  say things for fun.

But why don't YOU recommend what the Assam folks 
need to do, since you seem to be the one who 
really want to do something good for Assam?
