Draft Annual Plan 1976-77 Major Heads: Outlay and Expenditure Vol. II

Abstract

All these schemes will continue to be in operation in the year 1976-77 also. In addition to these, a few new welfare items are proposed to be included in the Annual Plan (1976-77) in view of the emphasis placed on upliftment of the weaker sections of the community—such as, provision of slate and pencil for primary school children, establishment of book banks in the elementary schools for scheduled tribe and scheduled caste children, provision of mid-day tiffin, school uniform, boarding house stipend, attendance stipend to girl students in the sub-plan area so that the retention ratio among the weaker sections can be improved. The four schemes under Technical Education have been compressed into one scheme with separate subheadings and hence the total number of schemes in 1976-77 will be 57.
