Highlights of Plan 2014-2015

Monitoring of Plan Schemes


Government restructured the Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) from BE 2014-15 (Plan). Accordingly,
126 CSS have been restructured in 66 schemes which include 17 flagship programmes. In BE 2014-15, funds have been provided under these schemes as Additional Central Assistance to State Plan. A much higher allocation of `3,38,408 crore in State Plan 2014-15 against BE 2013-14 of 1,36,254 crore reflects this change.
