  • Shri Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee
    Address by Shri Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee Chief Minister, West Bengal On the Mid-term Appraisal of the Tenth Plan At the 51st meeting of the National Development Council On 27th June 2005 At Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi Government of West Bengal Respected Prime Minister, Honourable Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Honourable Ministers of Government of India, Honourable Chief Ministers, Honourable Ministers from the States, officials of the Planning Commission, Government of India and the States. I take this opportunity to express my thanks to the Planning Commission for organizing this meeting of the NDC for discussing the mid-term appraisal paper on the 10th Plan Document at an opportune moment. I propose to draw the attention of the Honourable Prime Minister to a few issues that are causing serious concern to us in West Bengal and affect all the states as well. 1. Land Reforms 1.1 In the predominantly agricultural economy of India, no sustained development is possible without land . reforms being implemented throughout the country. •: Although West Bengal has made significant progress in this area, no definite directions have been forthcoming from the Central Government to the states despite the recommendations of the P.S. Appu Committee that was set up by the Planning Commission. The 10th Plan document places special emphasis on rising agricultural income for generating growth in the non-agricultural sector and the target for agricultural growth is set at 4%. The Plan Document continues to advocate the elimination of subsidies in the agricultural sector. However, this, as was argued in our comments on the Approach Paper, will affect adversely the small and marginal farmers.

There is a structured organisation in which the district administration under the charge of the District Collector plays the vital role. The Police, which is a civilian service, assists in disaster management in the efforts related to law and order, evacuation, search, rescue, wireless communication, disposal of dead, and general security. Non- governmental' organisations and community based organisations render help according to their capability and capacity. In most situations, this combined civilian effort is able to manage. However, when the disaster and its effects are of such severity and suddenness that is beyond the combined capacity of civilian agencies, the military and para military forces have to be summoned and they always rise to the occasion.
