(Natural Disaster Management Division)

Dated 31/10/1999

Sub: Review of items and norms of assistance from the calamity Relief Fund and National Fund for Calamity Relief Constitution of Review Committee.

The Tenth Finance Commission (TFC) had recommended that Ministry of Agriculture will set up a committee of Experts and representatives of the State Governments to drawn up a list of items, the expenditure on which alone will be chargeable to the CRF as also the norms of assistance from the National Fund for Calamity Relief. The State Level Committee would then workout the details of the norms or assistance than can be given or spent under each of the approved items of expenditure from the CRF. The norms of assistance so fixed by the State Level Committee should be communicated to the Ministry of Agriculture for checking and modifying them, if necessary, if they are significantly out of line. The Accountant General will book only expenditure to CRF is incurred as per norms approved by the Ministry of Agriculture.

2. On the basis of the above recommendations of the Tenth Finance Commission, an Expert Committee constituted by the Ministry of Agriculture in April 1995 had identified the items of assistance from the CRF and the norms of such assistance in the case of NFCR. The items of assistance approved by the Expert Committee were communicated to the State Governments. Some of the State Level Committees finalised their norms of assistance and communicated to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture considered the proposals of the State Governments and approved norms of assistance permissible from the CRF keeping in view the basic objective of avoiding wide variations from State to State and to ensure uniformity of approach as far as possible.

3. While considering the proposals received from the State Governments for additional assistance from the NFCR and the reports of the Central team which visited the affected acres to assess the situation, problems related to the unrealistic nature of some of the norms have been pointed out again and again. Some of the State Governments have also made representations about the norms of assistance by the Government of India and requested for continuance of their existing norms. A committee of Secretaries which considered the issue of relief and rehabilitation in the cyclone affected areas of Andhra Pradesh during 1996 had recommended adoption of scientific methods for assessing damage and requirements of relief and rehabilitation in the wake of natural calamities.

4. Accordingly, it has been decided to constitute a committee of Experts to review the existing norms of assistance from the calamity Relief Fund and the NFCR in the wake of natural calamities and related matters with the following composition :
