Fund for Rural Development Law.

This Law creates the Rural Development Fund. The FUnd operates for the purpose of accelerating the development of the rural areas of the State, by achieving two developmental objectives including to sensitize and mobilize the people of the State at the grassroot level (rural people), and consciously and actively involving them, in effective rural development; and to encourage integrated and multidimensional approach to rural development through village integration wherever it is considered relevant. The Fund is financed, operated, administered, maintained and managed at different levels by the State Rural Development Implementation Authority, the Zonal Rural Development Committees, the Local Government Rural Development Committee and the Town or Village Development Committees. The Fund is generally administered on issues of health, agriculture, community development, education and works. The Law extensively provides for the manner of the application of the Fund. The Law also contains certain forms and subsidiary legislation.
