Summary / Abstract (Note) | It is no great secret that the UPA government has not been quite happy with the functioning of the Ministry of Development of the North Eastern Region (DoNER). The Centre's development funds for the Northeast have rarely been utilized as they were meant to be, and the utilization reports as well as the detailed accounts for projects have rarely been submitted in time (if at all) and there have been serious allegations of large sums of money being siphoned out to private coffers. All said and done, there were legitimate complaints that the DoNER Ministry was functioning inefficiently. As a consequence, a parliamentary committee was appointed to look into the functioning of the DoNER Ministry and to make recommendations. Not surprisingly, the committee has recommended that the Union government dissolve the DoNER Ministry and put it under the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). |
