Sunday, October 02, 2011: State government will seek more freedom
from the Centre to utilise funds allocated to it, Chief Minister Oommen
Chandy said here.
This plea would be raised by the state at the National Development
Council meeting called by Prime Minister at Delhi on Oct 22, he said
speaking at a function at nearby Kakkanad.
Chandy pointed out that Kerala was far ahead of other states in
Literacy, Health and Education. The state should be allowed the freedom
to utilise the funds allocated to these sectors in more deserving areas.
Kerala will seek more power from the central pool in the backdrop of
the present crisis being faced, he said. The secretariat with 6 floors
has a built up area of over 4000 square feet.
Various offices including that of District planning, Urban and Rural planning will be housed here.
