Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], June 4 : Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said here on Sunday that despite inheriting a substantial debt of Rs 75,000 crore from the previous BJP government and facing financial restrictions from the Union Government on restoring the old pension scheme, the state government is actively focusing on resource mobilization, a press release said.He said that the state government has initiated several measures to generate additional revenue for the state exchequer."These include seeking a larger share in power projects of Central PSUs that have recouped their costs. The government has also conducted auctions for liquor vends, resulting in an additional 40 per cent revenue for the state coffers," CM Sukhu said, informed the press release.CM Sukhu emphasized that the state government is striving to maintain the pace of development despite the precarious financial condition. "The state government is committed to enhancing the state's own resources and ensuring that the lack of funds does not hinder the state's progress," the CM added.He said that the Union Government has imposed a ceiling on new proposals for external assistance through external aided agencies from Himachal Pradesh. "This restriction will be in place for three years, from 2023-24 to 2025-26 and by the end of the financial year 2025-26, Himachal Pradesh will only be eligible for approval of proposals up to Rs 2,944 crore from the Government of India," the CM added.The CM said that State Government's decision to reinstate the old pension scheme for government employees has led to a deduction of Rs 1,779 crores from the borrowing ceiling for the financial year 2022-23."Additionally, the limit of open market borrowing has been reduced by around Rs 5,500 Crore as compared to the previous year. The state government has obtained authorization for borrowing Rs 4,259 crore until December 2023, and it is expected to receive authorization for around Rs 8,500 crore," the CM added.The official press release informed that despite these challenges, CM Sukhu stated that, the state government is placing special emphasis on resource mobilization."The state government aims to reduce dependency on borrowing and make the state self-reliant.
