Decisions of the Board in the 77th Board Meeting held on 20.3.2018

As per the 77^th Board meeting held on 20.3.2018 following decisions have been taken:

No new sanction under any scheme of the National Trust shall be made till further decision of the Board or a sub-committee constituted especially for this to take a decision. However, this will not be applicable for North Eastern States and for the ROs implementing old GHARAUNDA Scheme. The revised Gharaunda Scheme is to be sanctioned in order to adjust the old GHARAUNDA Scheme into revised Gharaunda Scheme, as per the plan already approved by the Board. This will also not be applicable for awareness programmes on Inclusive India Initiative, organized under Badhte Kadam Scheme on direction of the National Trust.

The ROs will be allowed to implement only one type of scheme i.e. Day Care (Disha-cum-Vikaas Scheme) or Residential Care (Samarth-cum-Gharaunda Scheme). This will be applicable for the existing scheme holders also. The ROs implementing multiple schemes should be asked to opt either for Day Care or Residential Scheme.

For pending release of fund for the current year (2017-18) for centre based schemes namely Disha, Vikaas, Samarth and Gharaunda, the National Trust shall fund for BPL beneficiaries subject to maximum of 50% of the total batch size of the schemes. Rate of funding will be revised as per details given under-

Sl. No.	Scheme	Present rate per benf.	Revised Rate per benf.	Maximum No. of BPL benef to be funded
1	Disha	4,500+(1000 transport)	2,000	10
2	Gharaunda	10,000	5,000	10
3	Samarth	7,000	4,000	15
4	Vikaas	3850+ (1000 transport)	2,000	15

However, rate of funding under Gharaunda Scheme remains same in case of those project holders who had been sanctioned old Gharaunda scheme, till the fund released under Old Gharaunda scheme is adjusted with the monthly recurring fund of the revised Gharaunda scheme, by deducting 50% of the total admissible recurring fund for adjustment. After the adjustment of the fund, the project holder will start receiving monthly fund as per the revised rate i.e. Rs.5000/- per beneficiary, per month.
