District Accounts and Development Funds

District Accounts

It is evident from the district accounts of Panjgur that without a substantial support of the federal as well as provincial government the financial situation of the district remains deficit. There are no chances of self-sufficiency in financial affairs of Panjgur. In 1995-96, the total income of the federal as well as provincial government through revenue collection in Kech district, as administered by the Treasury Office, constituted only about one quarter (23.4%) of the total expenditure, administered at that level. The bulk of the federal revenues and income is not administered by the Treasury Office and therefore at district level there are no clear data available on the actual government income at district level.

The amount earned by various departments at the district level is deposited to the Treasury Office. The same office is responsible for disbursement of expense money to these departments. The available information on district accounts are quite insufficient to draw any conclusion about the detailed financial situation in Panjgur.

Development Funds

Most of the development activities in the district are funded through the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP). Development funds from federal and provincial resources are only partly administered at the district level. The local government institutions either do not have financial independence, as in the case of the Union councils, or they have limited income resources. Major development activities are directly administered from provincial level and it is sometimes hard to trace accurately that which part specifically benefits in Panjgur.

 

In 1995-96, a total amount of 9.031 million rupees was allocated for 3 ongoing development schemes under the revised PSDP in roads, health, and public health engineering sectors. No new schemes were proposed in this budget while the ongoing schemes included construction of Panjgur-Sabzab road, a water supply scheme, and construction of residences for health personnel. For the year 1996-97, the total revised PSDP allocation was only 0.7 million rupees for one ongoing development scheme. The allocation in the PSDP for 1997-98 amounts to 3 million rupees. Whole of this allocation has been made through the local resources and no Foreign Project Assistance (FPA) has been involved in this regard.
