Three districts — Rohtak, Jhajjar and Mahendragarh — are yet to spend a penny out of the District Plan funds released by the state government for the financial year 2024-25.
A review of the funds released under the District Plan Scheme this financial year revealed that only Rs 36.81 crore had been spent by various districts, of a total fund of Rs 400 crore for all districts, which is just 9.2% of utilisation.
Faridabad district leads in terms of fund utilisation, spending Rs 10.61 crore, of its allocated Rs 28.55 crore — which is 37.16% of its budget — followed by Panipat at 21.24% and Nuh 21.08%.
At the bottom of the utilisation are Rohtak, Mahendragarh, and Jhajjar districts, which showed zero spending. Hisar, too, spent just 1.17% of funds, while Sirsa used only 0.66% of its budget.

The budget is mainly meant to be used for drinking water, constructions/repair work in schools, street lighting, health infrastructure, irrigation facilities, community building structures, sanitation and public health, sports infrastructure, animal care and construction of bridges, roads, streets, etc.
