Disaster Mitigation Funds Worth ₹2.1K Cr Unspent in Odisha
The New Indian Express Bhubaneswar
|January 20, 2025
CALL it administrative inefficiency or laxity, the Odisha government has failed to utilize more than ₹2,100 crore allocated for disaster mitigation and response activities in the state as per the recommendation of the 15th Finance Commission.
Even as the period of the Commission will expire at the end of 2025-26 financial year, sources said, around ₹1,420 crore under the State Disaster Mitigation Fund (SDMF) and ₹689 crore under State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) have remained unspent by December as the state government has failed to effectively deploy these resources.
Among the top five states receiving disaster management funds, Odisha has been allocated more than ₹6,700 crore so far out of the recommended amount of ₹8,865 crore during the 2021-26 period.
