SKC fails to get the economic data

Incidentally, the successive governments have been spending funds in Telangana region higher than the two other regions in the past 15 years in view of the revival of the T struggle.

“The Accountant General and State treasury officials informed the member that the data could be available from the year of computerisation 10-12 years ago,” a senior official said. Dr Shareef, however, wanted the officials to give as much data as possible and make extra efforts to collect old data.

Official sources told this newspaper that the panel member, Dr Abu Saleh Shareef, was informed of the lack of data during a marathon meeting he held with state officials at Secretariat on Friday.

Dr Shareef handed over a seven-page proforma seeking details of district-wise expenditure in social sector, land development, irrigation, pachayats and urban development, plan and non-plan expenditure, revenue from taxes, land revenue, central grants and state government and cultivable area.

With the bifurcation issue largely revolving around the state capital, the panel wanted the data of Hyderabad to be separated in the revenue and expenditure.

If the Government is not having statistics for the last 40 years, then who will have?

SKC must probe this issue further. It is a very serious matter; concerned persons must be punished as they might have destroyed the data purposefully.
