The Mizoram Government has submitted 15 projects under non-lapseable pool fund to the Planning Commission, State Chief Secretary H. V. Lalringa informed recently.

Besides the draft sectoral allocation for Rs 360 crore for the State annual plan outlay, the State Government submitted 15 projects under the non-lapseable pool fund, commonly called ‘peace bonus’ to accelerate development in the State.

The proposed projects were aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in food production and income generation, he said. The Union Finance Ministry had earlier agreed to disburse Rs. 50 crore annually for five years under the pool fund, which is over and above annual plan outlays.
