Contribution and MOU Submission

280 214 9 1. Because of Drought for 3 Years CIGs unable to deposit contribution

2. Notary Fees compulsion also delayed

At initial stage SHG pattern may be adopted for 1 year after that Grading.

This will ease contribution collection.

Fund Release 280 205 9 Repeated objections after project sanction

Delayed fund release

No objections should be raised after project sanction.

Delay de-motivates CIGs

Submission UC 280 21 - Difficult to collect the documents from CIGs.

Local influential persons misguided.

Gram Sabhas held infrequently

Documents to be demanded as per capacity of CIGs

NGO-GO control over fund release is must.

It will be easy to follow the rules & regulations

CC adjust by DPMU

There should be common policy based on ground reality for CC adjustment.

Sustainability after 3 month

CC adjustment within 15 days after receiving required documents.
