A large number of special project proposals under SGSY are received from State Governments and other Agencies for sanction.

The project proposals which comply with the basic parameters of the guidelines are then appraised through two Inter-Ministerial Committees for screening and approval. These Committees are Project Screening Committee (PSC) and Project Approval Committee. Since receipt of project proposals, their revision by the sponsoring agencies and their appraisal and approval through the above two tier Inter Ministerial Committees is a continuous process, no time frame can be indicated for final clearance of such project proposals.
The funds sanctioned for Special Projects under SGSY are released in three installments and is utilized as per implementation schedule prescribed under the project. Subsequent instalment is released on utilizing a certain minimum percentage of funds with corresponding physical targets.
