Slow utilisation of 15th Finance Commission funds in S Dinajpur raises concerns
Millennium Post Kolkata
|Kolkata 12 June 2025
In South Dinajpur, only a fraction of the funds allocated under the 15th Finance Commission has been utilised so far, raising concerns among officials and prompting the District Magistrate to issue strict directives to speed up development work across the district.
BALURGHAT:
The 15th Finance Commission, initiated in the fiscal year 2021-22 and scheduled to run until 2025-26, allocated substantial funds for developmental activities through the Zilla Parishad. However, according to official data, only about 10.46 per cent of the total Rs 20.68 crore allocated to the South Dinajpur Zilla Parishad has been spent — approximately Rs 2.16 crore. Around Rs 18.52 crore remains unutilised with only a year left in the Commission's tenure.
