of these states for FY13, as also the
12th Plan, built from available
scrappy details, are set out below.

include removing imbalance
between water demand and availability,
and improving employment
opportunities and infrastructure
deficit. The state will
also work towards enhancing participatory
planning and removing
weakness in delivery system.
West Bengal (25,910 crore):
The state was aiming at inclusive
growth with sustainable development
so as to create adequate
employment opportunities and

encouraged to expedite development
process.

government has given special
incentives to large and mediumscale
industries. An Industrial
Promotion Fund with adequate

purpose. The state government
would target a growth rate of 10
per cent during the 12th Plan. It
would be broadbased growth
involving all sectors and all sections
of people.

sector top priority by providing
substantial increase in the
outlay. Similarly, a major thrust is
given to medical and public
