TREND OF DEVELOPMENT AND
EXPENDITURE ON DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES DURING LAST Three YEARS
Why
Planning?
Population of the civil area of the Cantonment has been increased manifold
since the last three census. The Temporary migratory population visiting for
marketing in Cantt area has also increased in quantum. As compared to such
population increase in civil area, expenditure incurred on development
activities like water supply, roads, buildings, drains etc. has remained
very nominal. Thus the pressure has increased on the existing facilities
i.e. roads, drains and water supply in absence of major improvement in these
areas. The position of these facilities has deteriorated and requires
immediate attention for improvement. It is also seen that in the absence of
any planning process in the Cantonment, expenditure has been made
haphazardly during the past. Govt. attitude also remained apathetic towards
Meerut Cantonment Board.
During the last Three years
Cantt Board Meerut has not received any special grant-in-aid as well as any
ordinary grant-in-aid from Central Govt, as a result of which Cantonment
Board could not take up any development work in the Cantt. Whatsoever
Development work was taken up during the last Three years was out of the
proceeds of service charges. The position of expenditure on original and
maintenance works during the last Three years i.e. from 2004-05 to 2008-09
for water supply, drains, roads, buildings and miscellaneous public
improvement is shown in the following table. |
