The City Corporation is busy making preparations to submit the proposals of the Annual Plan online to the District Planning Committee as the deadline for submission is getting over by June 15.
Numerous projects under various heads numbering around 20 are furnished in the Plan. Discussions of working groups and standing committees have been taking place this month and some of the additional proposals made during the budget announcement have also been included. For the 2013-14 financial year, a total of Rs 120.95 crore is expected from the Development Fund and Rs 31.71 crore as the maintenance grant of the Plan Fund.
The major allocations in the Plan are for public works, poverty alleviation, welfare and shelter categories. Some of the ambitious projects proposed for the financial year include a centre for autistic children, recreation centre for the elderly, de-addiction centre and mobile cafes. As many as 30 proposals are thus listed under the welfare section.
Last year also, the proposals were submitted online. But unlike the previous years, the draft annual plan and annual budget were presented together this time.
The budget this time includes a slew of 71 proposals.
