NEW DELHI: In a major decision that could adversely affect social sector schemes, funding pattern of 17 centrally-sponsored schemes have been brought down to 60:40 between the Centre and states. 

This includes Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Mid-Day Meal scheme, Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, National Rural Drinking Water Programme, Integrated Child Protection Scheme, Krishi Unnati Yojna, Housing for All, Smart City Mission, National Health Mission, Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and many others. 

Funding pattern of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and six other schemes under National Social Assistance Programme --an umbrella programme for development of SCs/STs/differently abled/minorities/backwards --have been left untouched. 

Finance secretary Ratan P Watal has conveyed the decision to all administrative ministries. Watal said the decision has been taken based on the report of the sub-group of chief ministers on rationalization of centrally-sponsored schemes constituted by the NITI Aayog. 

Watal clarified that in case of 17 schemes if funding pattern is already less than 60:40, the existing funding pattern will continue. In case of Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS), he said, additional funds will be provided for this year at the supplementary stage. In case of Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna finance ministry will issue separate instructions later. Many schemes not specifically mentioned, Watal said, will be optional for the state government and funding pattern will be 50:50 between the Centre and the states. 

Four schemes, Watal said, will be run as central sector schemes from 2016-17. This includes National AIDS and STD Control Program, National Skill Initiatives/Skill Development Mission under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojna, National Disease Surveillance Systems and the Crime and Criminal Control Network. In case of Union Territories, centrally sponsored schemes will be 100 per cent funded by the central government. However, which programme can run will be decided by the centre in consultation with union territory.
