New Delhi, Jan 5 (IANS) The Delivery Monitoring Unit (DMU) in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Tuesday reviewed the progress of 18 flagship projects and identified bottlenecks in their implementation.
The projects reviewed include the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Bharat Nirman, Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), Rajiv Awas Yojana, multi-sectoral district plans for minority-concentration districts, National Mission on Female Literacy, the Prime Minister’s Reconstruction Plan for Jammu and Kashmir and development of land ports.
Headed by the Prime Minister’s Principal Secretary T.K.A. Nair, the DMU was set up last July.
While in the first United Progressive Alliance government (2004-09) there were 101 items in the National Common Minimum Programme which were monitored by the PMO, the list this time has been reduced to 18 high visibility and high impact projects.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has repeatedly stressed that the DMU was part of the government’s commitment to bring about maximum transparency and accountability in the governing process.
