The State Archaeology department has utilised only 26.32% of the Plan funds sanctioned in the 2022-23 financial year, the 12th report of the Assembly Estimates Committee on the Culture department’s utilisation of budget allocation has found.
In the case of the Archives department, only 37% of the Plan funds were utilised, the committee, chaired by K.K. Shailaja, MLA, found.
The committee recommended that funds sanctioned in the budget should be utilised fully by both the departments for the purpose for which the allocation was made and in a time-bound manner.
