Government's big decision for the rehabilitation of flood victims, use of district funds
Mumbai, September 30, 2025: The state government has taken an important decision to help the flood victims in Maharashtra. It has been approved to spend 10 percent of the District Planning Committee's funds for the rehabilitation and assistance of the flood victims. Government sources informed that this option has been accepted due to the current financial strain on the state treasury.
Efforts to provide relief to the flood victims
Many districts of Maharashtra have suffered extensive damage due to heavy rains and floods during this monsoon season. Agriculture, houses, roads and infrastructure have been severely damaged, and thousands of families have been left homeless. Against this backdrop, the government has taken this decision to provide immediate relief to the flood victims and for their rehabilitation.
The decision to use 10 percent of the annual funds of the District Planning Committee for the relief of the flood victims was taken in a cabinet meeting. This fund will be used for food, shelter, medical facilities and rehabilitation of the flood victims. Apart from this, the funds will also be used for the repair of infrastructure in the flood-affected areas.
Stress on the treasury and financial challenges
The state government is currently facing a mountain of financial challenges. Due to the economic crisis after the Covid-19 pandemic and the expenditure on other development works, there is a huge strain on the treasury. In such a situation, it has become difficult to provide separate funds for the flood victims. Therefore, it has been decided to use some part of the funds of the District Planning Committee during this crisis.
“This decision has been taken to provide immediate help to the flood victims and get their lives back on track. We are trying our best to ensure that no flood victim is deprived of help,” said a senior official.
Situation in the flood-affected areas
This year, several districts in the state, including Kolhapur, Sangli, Satara, Pune and Nashik, were hit by floods due to heavy rains. Hundreds of villages have been submerged, causing extensive damage to agriculture and livestock. Roads, bridges and power systems have been destroyed in many places. Relief camps have been set up to provide temporary shelter to the flood victims, and distribution of food grains and medicines is also underway.
Use of District Planning Fund
The funds of the District Planning Committee are generally used for local development works. This includes projects like roads, schools, hospitals and water supply. However, it has been decided to use 10 percent of this fund for relief to the flood victims. The administration has been instructed to ensure that this fund is used effectively and transparently.
Opposition's tone
The opposition has raised some questions on this decision. "The District Planning Fund is for local development. Is it right to use it for the flood victims? Why did the government not provide a separate fund?" Opposition leaders have raised this question. The government, while explaining this, said that this option was inevitable in the current economic situation.
