| Particulars: |
- 5% of the funds and food grains under the Sampoorna Gramin Rozgar Yojana will be retained in the Ministry for utilization in the areas of acute distress, arising out of natural calamities or for taking up preventive measures in the chronically drought or flood affected rural areas. Savings from this 5% could be allotted by the Ministry to better performing Districts.
- A certain percentage of the allotted food grains under the SGRY will be reserved for the Special Component to be used in any Central or State Government Scheme with wage employment potential to meet exigencies arising out of any natural calamity.
- The remaining funds and food grains under the SGRY will be available in two streams from the Department of Rural Development:
The first stream will be implemented at the District and Intermediate Panchayat levels. 50% of the funds and food grains will be available under the First Stream and will be distributed between the Zilla Parishad and the Intermediate Panchayats in the ratio of 40-60.
The second stream will be implemented at the Village Panchayat level, and 50% of the funds and food grains will be earmarked for the Village Panchayats and distributed among them through DRDAs/Zill Parishads. The Programme will be implemented through the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs).
The cash component is shared between the Centre and the States in the ratio of 75:25. |
