Origin of the Non- Lapsable Central Pool of
Resources (NLCPR)
The Government of India took keen interest on the
development of the North Eastern Region which is
evident from the fact that soon after the visit of
the Hon’ble Prime Minister to the Region in October,
1996 the Planning Commission appointed a High Level
Commission under the Chairmanship of Shri S.P.Shukla,
Member Planning Commission to critically examine the
backlog and gaps of development of the Region and to
suggest policies, programmes and requirement of
funds to bridge the gaps with special reference to
infrastructural development and provision of Basic
Minimum Services. The High Level Commission
submitted their Report to the Hon’ble Prime Minister
on the 7th March, 1997. In the mean time, the
Government of India took a decision to the effect
that the Central Ministries are to utilize 10
percent of their budgetary allocation each year in
the N.E. Region. Keeping in view the fact that a
good number of Central Ministries are unable to
utilize 10 percent of the budgetary resources in the
N.E. Region and also by positively taking into
consideration the Report of the High Level
Commission of the Planning Commission, the
Government of India decided to create the
Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources for the North
Eastern States and Sikkim from the year 1998-99. The
funds sanctioned to the State Governments from the
Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources are in
addition to the State Plan resources and are
accounted for outside the State Plan.
