Following this, the road proposals are submitted to the department and subsequently forwarded to the concerned District Magistrates through the Assistant Sugarcane Commissioner.
• After obtaining the approval of the District Magistrates, and subject to the availability of matching grants in the Sugarcane Development Councils, 75% of the expenditure on the selected roads is borne by the government grant, while the remaining 25% is contributed by the Sugarcane Development Councils.
• Funds are released from the government level only after receiving the finalized list of roads from the Assistant Sugarcane Commissioner. Roads falling under the Special Component Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan will be selected as per the norms issued by the Social Welfare Department.
