Sources in the state government said that a thorough review of developmental schemes, works done in the last five years and pending projects will be done during the marathon meeting called by CM Soren with main focus on the developmental works reaching on the ground.

“It is believed to be the first foot forward towards ending non-essential schemes due to the dearth of funds as the chief minister has repeatedly been saying that financial condition of the state is really in bad shape and a white paper will be released soon so that people could know what this government has inherited from the previous regime,” said sources in the state government. 

The CMO has sought all information like name of schemes being carried out by state and Centre, ratio of contributions made by Centre and state, schemes target group, allotments received in last five years, physical developments with total income and expenses along with the details of monitoring done in this regard. Department secretaries have also been asked to come with all details of the activities.
