The total funds allotted for MM-IV are Rs.

The progress of the schemes is satisfactory
at present. The physical progress of the
schemes under Mini Mission – IV of JTM
got slightly affected in the initial period as
the start of the implementation processes
was delayed due to some procedural /
administrative reasons, viz, drafting of
the scheme parameters and “Operating
Manuals”, interactions with the members
of the industry and other jute interests, in
eliciting their views / comments, acceptance
of the scheme components, etc. and
finally consideration and approval of the
“Operating Manuals” by the Ministry. The
implementation effectively commenced in
2008-09 onwards, but the progress was
again hindered by the prolonged strike
in the jute industry in 2009-10. Further,
most of the Schemes under Mini Mission
IV were back-ended – which indicates
that the maximum utilization of fund and
the achievements can be recorded and
would be visible by the end of the Mission
period.
The Standing Committee on Labour
[15th Lok Sabha] on the “Development
of Jute Sector”, in appreciating the initial
constraints encountered in implementation
of JTM and considering the significance
of the Mission for the revival of Jute
Sector, recommended that JTM be further
extended to the 12 th Five Year Plan and
instead of setting cumulative targets for five
years, yearly targets be fixed under each
scheme for their effective implementation.
The continuation of JTM for a further period
of 2 (two) years is presently under active
consideration of the Government.
Till 30 th September, 2011, the
achievements under Mini Mission IV,
both physical and financial, were more
than 50%. However, to summarise, NJB
has utilized Rs.141.46 crore or 60.45%
of the total Mission period outlay of
Rs.234.02 crore.
