CADC seeks enhanced fund allocation from 16th Finance Commission for infrastructural development

Kamalanagar, 26th February 2025: A delegation from the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) led by Hon’ble Chief Executive Member Dg. Molin Kumar Chakma met with Dr. Arvind Panagariya, Chairman, and other members of the 16th Finance Commission in Aizawl on Monday during its four-day visit to Mizoram. The delegation, which included Hon’ble MLA Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma, Senior Finance & Accounts Officer Dg. Buddhangkur Chakma, and Planning & Development Officer Dg. Prabin Chakma, submitted a representation seeking enhanced financial allocation to bridge the infrastructural deficit within CADC.

During the meeting, the delegation gave a detailed presentation on the socio-economic challenges faced by CADC, citing its backwardness including lower literacy rate and inadequate infrastructure. It was pointed out that despite being categorised as an “Excluded Area” and outside the purview of Part IX and Part IXA of the Constitution, CADC has been receiving funds under two categories—Rural Local Body Grants to Village Councils and Excluded Area Grants. However, the delegation emphasized that the inconsistency and irregularity in the Excluded Area Grants have hampered the implementation of major infrastructure projects, particularly those related to administrative development.

The delegation urged the Finance Commission to continue providing Excluded Area Grants on a regular basis to address the infrastructural deficit until corrective legislative measures are undertaken by the Government of India to enhance the financial resources of Autonomous District Councils. It was further emphasised that ADCs and Tribal Areas under the Sixth Schedule should receive special consideration while determining grants under the Central Finance Commission, given their unique socio-economic challenges.

The representation also underscored the need for special financial provisions under Article 275(1) of the Indian Constitution to raise the level of administration in Sixth Schedule Areas. Drawing parallels to the separate treatment accorded to the Sixth Schedule Areas in Assam under clause (a) of Article 275(1), the delegation argued that similar treatment should be extended to ADCs in Mizoram to ensure equitable development. They pointed out that despite the Finance Commission’s approach of treating ADCs as two tiers Local Body Institutions —with Autonomous District Council as Zilla Panchayat and Village Councils as Gram panchayats—CADC has not received any share of grants allocated to Zilla Panchayats during the entire period of the 15th Finance Commission. They also urged the Commission to recommend for additional fund provision for CADC, in addition to the normal grants under the Excluded Area Grants, to address specific problems, as was done under the 13th Finance Commission.

Some of the projects proposed under the 16th Finance Commission include the completion of the New Secretariat Building at Kamalanagar, the construction of the Chief Executive Member’s Office Building, the establishment of Village Council Court Buildings, construction of Electric Crematorium and an ITI Building, construction of MDC Hostels and Court Buildings, among others.

CADC Budget, 2022-2023 passed for an amount Rs.16,475.33 Lakhs

Kamalanagar, 05 July, 2022: Chakma Autonomous District Council Budget, 2022-2023 presented in the second sitting of the Budget Session held on 01/07/2022 was discussed and passed today unanimously along with the Supplementary Demand for Grants, 2021-2022 and Re-appropriation of Local Receipt Fund, 2021-2022.

The Budget was passed for an amount of Rs.16,475.33 Lakhs against an earmarked amount of Rs.11,210.19 Lakhs by the State Government and an estimated local revenue collection of Rs.132.37 Lakhs. The Budget has a deficit of Rs.5,132.77 Lakhs which, as stated by the Hon’ble CEM, CADC in his Budget speech, will be covered up with help from the State Government.

The deficit is due to a number of pending works, revised salary of councilors (which is due) and some committed expenditures of the last financial year.

The CEM has appealed the state government through the house to make the allocation of GIA fund on the basis 7:9:11 ratio as prescribed by the first State Finance Commission. “Deficit in the Budget would be minimised to a large extend”, he added.

The CEM said that the state government will be pressed to approve the long pending demand for revision of the salary of the Councilors while adding that salaries of MPs and MLAs had been revised long back. He further said, “It has become difficult for the Councilors of the ADCs to maintain their families with the existing pay”.

During the discussion of the Budget Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma, EM brought to the notice of the House the very low revenue collection under GAD (mainly accounted by CADC Rest Houses) against the projected collection. He urged for an enquiry into the matter.

In taking note of the deficit in the Budget Dg. Durjya Dhan Chakma attributed the situation to discrepancy in allocation of GIA fund to CADC over the years. He stated that Table 9D of the first Mizoram State Finance Commission Report, 2015 has prescribed sharing of fund between the three ADCs of Mizoram as CADC:23.96%, MADC:34.07% and LADC:41.97% while adding that it has not been applied consistently which has cost CADC to loss a handsome share of GIA fund over the years. He also did not approve of some of the parameters based on which the fund sharing was determined. In this regard he said that in addition to the distance of the ADC headquarters from Aizawl, its distance from the district headquarters should have been also factored.

The Session was prorogued with todays sitting.

CADC Winter Session concluded

Kamalanagar, 12 January, 2021: The Winter Session of Chakma Autonomous District Council which started on 5th January concluded today with its third sitting. The Second Sitting was held on 8th January.

In three Sittings the Session has passed one amendment bill, two bills, adopted a Rule of Mizoram Government and answered 12 unstarred and 2 starred questions.

In the Second Sitting the CADC (Constitution and Conduct of Business, etc.) (Amendment) Rules, 2020 was passed and the Mizoram Government Employees (Counting of Past Service) Rules, 2020 was adopted.

In the third Sitting held today the CADC (Finance & Accounts) Services Rules, 2020 and the CADC (Publication Board) Rules, 2020 were discussed and passed.

The Finance and Accounts Department will be the second department in CADC to have its own service rule, the first being the Legislative Department which had its service rule (Chakma Autonomous District Council Secretariat (Recruitment and Condition of Services) Rule, 2020) passed in the Special Budget Session, 2020 held in the month of July, 2020. The Bill mover Dg. Rasik Mohan Chakma, Hon’ble CEM, CADC made a point that effort shall be made to make every department have their own services rules. Presently, there is only one services rule for all the departments of CADC.

The CEM also expressed regret over the inordinate long time taken for the rules to receive the assent of the Governor. As many as 13 thirteen rules passed by CADC are languishing with the government of Mizoram for the assent of the Governor.
