CHAPTER IX
GOPABANDHU GRAMIN YOJANA (GGY)
Gopabandhu Gramin Yojana (GGY): Government of Orissa launched this new programme
called "The Gopabandhu Gramin Yojana (GGY)" on October 9, 2006 with a view to providing
additional developmental assistance to the targeted 11 (Eleven) districts which are not
covered under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF). The scheme has been
implemented from the year 2006-07 and will continue to be implemented during the 11th
Plan period from 2007-08 to 2011-12. The 11 districts covered under GGY are Angul,
Balasore, Bargarh, Bhadrak, Cuttack, Jajpur, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapara, Khurda,
Nayagarh and Puri.
The principal objective of the scheme is to provide additional development funds to the
targeted districts to develop infrastructure in every revenue village. Some of the specific
projects which could be taken under the Yojana would be in the nature of construction of
concrete roads within the village, construction of black top/concrete roads to connect a
village with a nearest PMGSY or ODR road, installation of street lights within the village, for
which the maintenance is to be borne by the concerned Gram Panchayat (GP), provision of
drinking water supply and creation of irrigation sources.
The additional development funds provided in this programme would be of un-tied nature
and supplement the programmes which are already available in the aforesaid sectors and
provide synergy and convergence to the different development programmes.
Each targeted district will be provided additional development assistance to the extent of
Rs. 10 crores per annum for a period of 6 years from 2006-07 to 2011-12. Panchayati Raj
Department is the Nodal Department for the purpose of administration of the GGY and
takes appropriate budget provisions for this purpose under separate head of account each
year beginning from the year 2006-07 onwards until the expiry of the Eleventh Five Year
Plan. In Balasore district, the project is in operation since 2006-07. But the work started
practically in the year 2007-08. The performance in achievement of the programme is
moderate, i.e about 80%. This needs to be strengthened in coming years.
