    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.

  • Brief on Zonal Councils
    Brief on Zonal Councils There are five Zonal Councils which are statutory bodies set up under the States Re-organization Act, 1956 to provide a common meeting ground to the States and UTs in each zone for resolution of inter-state and regional issues, fostering balanced socio-economic regional development and building harmonious Centre- State relations. The Zonal Council meetings are chaired by the Union Home Minister. The Chief Ministers and two Ministers from the member States are the members in each Zonal Council. In case of UTs, there are two members from each UT. Each Zonal Council has set up a Standing Committee consisting of Chief Secretaries of the member States of the respective Zonal Councils. The Standing Committees meet from time to time to resolve the issues or to do necessary ground work for further meetings of the Zonal Councils. Senior officers from the NITI Aayog (erstwhile Planning Commission), Central Ministries and State Governments are associated with the meetings depending upon necessity. Meetings of Standing Committees and Zonal Councils Considering the great potential of this forum in resolving regional and inter-state issues through cordial discussions, the present government reviewed the work of Zonal Councils in 2014 and instructed the Inter State Council Secretariat to reactivate the Councils and convene regular meetings. The Zonal Councils have now been reactivated and the meetings of the Zonal Councils and their Standing Committees are being conducted regularly since then. During the period 2014-19, 14 meetings of the Zonal Councils under the Chairmanship of the Hon’ble Union Home Minister and 19 Standing Committee Meetings under the Chairmanship of respective Chief Secretaries have been held as detailed below: Details of meetings of Zonal Councils held from 2014 to December, 2019 No.
