UP’s annual plan

The Planning Commission cleared a Rs 47,000 crore annual plan of Uttar Pradesh for the 2011-12 financial year. This year’s allocation is Rs 5,000 crore more than the outlay last year. The state also got an additional central assistance of Rs 1,100 crore. In the absence of chief minister Mayawati, the annual plan for the state was finalised at a meeting between plan panel and state government officials led by chief secretary Anoop Mishra. Most of the chief ministers come for the annual meeting with the deputy chairman of Planning Commission to push for greater allocation for their states and exchange views with the country’s highest planning body.
