State gets additional Rs 1,000 cr for infrastructure projects
The Union Government has approved an increase of Rs 1,000 crore in grant for setting up infrastructure projects in Bihar during 2010-11 under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF) scheme. These projects belonging to power, road and irrigation sectors are being put in place through the Special Plan for Bihar under the BRGF scheme. BRGF, approved by the government four years earlier, has been allocated Rs 1,000 crore annually over the entire 11th Five Year Plan (2007-12). However, the total cost of the projects had seen a 57 per cent rise to Rs 8,753 crore since the August 2006 calculation.
