Despite funds only 2 buildings of DE&CC constructed 9/3/2015 11:31:58 PM Arun Singh Early Times Report Jammu, Sep 3: Despite release of funds to the tune of Rs 28.56 crore for construction of building and other infrastructure for District Employment and Counseling Centres in every district across the state under Sher-e-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme (SKEWPY) only two such buildings have come up till date that too incomplete. Sources told Early Times that in order to ensure smooth functioning of District Employment and Counseling Centres for facilitating unemployed youths, the funds were provided for construction of buildings and other infrastructure for all the District Employment and Counseling Centers in a phased manner. "The estimated cost of land and building was kept at Rs 50 lakh per centre. Two buildings were to be constructed during the year 2009-10 and within next two to three years from start of SKEWPY i.e., by 31 December 2012, the remaining districts were to be provided with the buildings," they said. They further informed that an amount of Rs 28.56 crore had been advanced up to October 2013 to executing agencies and the Collectors. However, only two buildings including DE&CC Samba and Ganderbal were handed over to the Department in 2014 even though not fully completed. "The work on five including Director/ Joint Director Jammu, Director/ Joint Director Srinagar, DE&CCs Jammu, Rajouri and Anantnag, the buildings could not be taken up by the executing agency due to either non availability of the land or land disputes," they disclosed. Shockingly, in one case of DE&CC Budgam, the building after completion was found to be unsafe but the concerned officials maintained that five buildings had been taken over and thirteen buildings even though completed could not be taken over due to non availability of funds for internal furnishing.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
