The Haryana Government has allocated Rs.157 crores for the augmentation of Rural and Urban Water Supply Schemes during the current financial year as against Rs.92.50 crores in the last financial year, the Financial Commissioner, Public Health, Mr. K.C. Sharma, said here today. At an interaction with mediapersons here he said it was due to the concerted efforts to the Government that the outlays had been enhanced under the Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme, Desert Development Programme, International Funding for Agriculture Development and sanctioning of loan by NABARD. The outlay for the Urban Sector too had increased due to the release of substantial funds by the Centre under the 11th Finance Commission.
