Topic: Governance

 

News:- Cow cess and it’s utilisation by the state government has come under the scrutiny.

 

Background:-

  •  The state government had discontinued the free electricity scheme to the Gaushalas.
  • Shri Gow Rakshini Sabha had petitioned in the Punjab and Haryana High court regarding this issue.
  • Earlier, Cow cess was also levied on the citizens for the welfare of cows.
  • But, there is no clarity on how the cess is being utilised.

 

The issues associated with this are:-

  • Poor governance in the state.
  • No Standard procedure for ensuring the utilisation of the funds.
  • Political misappropriation of the funds.

 

Solutions:-

  • There should be a framework to devise a mechanism for utilisation of funds for a particular purpose.e.g.
  •  National clean environment cess.
  • Finance Commission and Niti Aayog can frame a policy to ensure proper utilisation of Cess funds.
