In addition, the GOI has released an amount of Rs. 546.306 crore from the NDRF to the State Government for management of relief necessitated by notified natural disasters in the affected areas during 2013.
Regarding rehabilitation of people, who are affected by the natural calamities including flood, this has to be undertaken by the concerned State Government from its own resources/ Plan funds and in accordance with the rehabilitation policy of the State. The State Government through its established channels of administration monitors progress of the rehabilitation projects and construction work including supervision of project completion timelines. Information on completion of rehabilitation and reconstruction work is not maintained centrally.
