Appraisal of Flood

5 Management and Anti-

Erosion Schemes
5.1 Appraisal of schemes by GFCC- Scope

Techno-economic appraisal of flood management and anti-erosion schemes

received from the Ganga basin States is an important activity of GFCC. As per
revised guidelines issued by the Planning Commission on 29th June 2012, schemes
estimated to cost between Rs. 12.5 crore (earlier Rs. 7.5 crore) and Rs. 25 crore
(earlier Rs. 15 crore) are examined by GFCC for their techno-economic viability
and, if found acceptable, are cleared by GFCC itself and recommended to the
Planning Commission for investment clearance.

Schemes costing less than Rs. 12.5 crore are cleared at the State level by
the State Flood Control Boards.

Schemes costing above Rs. 25 crore, if found acceptable after appraising

them for their techno-economic viability, are recommended by GFCC to the
Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Water Resources for Irrigation, Flood
Control and Multi Purpose Projects for clearance.

Normally, GFCC does not examine schemes costing less than Rs. 12.5
crore. However, in special cases, such as schemes on emergent flood protection
works in the Eastern Sector on common / border rivers with Bangladesh, Ministry
of Water Resources, Government of India issued an instruction that GFCC would
scrutinize such schemes on the common / border rivers with Bangladesh and make
recommendations to MoWR for release of funds. In addition, all Central sector
schemes in Ganga Basin irrespective of cost are, however, examined from techno-
economic aspect in GFCC.

5.2 Appraisal of schemes during 2014-15
