Mechanism to monitor projects in five core sectors soon
15 May 2010: The Union Government is mulling to set up a mechanism to monitor the progress of projects in crucial sectors.
The mechanism is to be set up by Planning Commission to evaluate the performance of five core sectors — power, roads, railways, ports and airports. The telecom sector, which is mired in 2G spectrum controversy, has been kept out of the monitoring mechanism.
The targets set for the five sectors will also be monitored on quarterly basis by the Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure (CCI).The Plan panel, entrusted with setting the targets for each ministry handling the infrastructure sector, will prepare the quarterly reports which will be presented to CCI.
