The amount provided under this head for vaccinations is actually operated by the Ministry of Health. Vaccines are passed on to the States as grants in kind and the actual administration of vaccines is being done by States. Further, there is enough administrative flexibility to change the nature of the Scheme between grants in kind and other forms of grants.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, as pointed out in the report itself, for ensuring adequate availability of funding for vaccination, the \u201cbudget classification does not really matter\u201d.\u00a0<strong>The use of the Demand titled \u2018Transfers to States\u2019 in no way implies that expenditure cannot be incurred by the Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0a2e\u0a3e\u0a2b\u0a3c \u0a15\u0a30\u0a28\u0a3e, \u0a07\u0a39 \u0a16\u0a2c\u0a30 \u0a24\u0a41\u0a39\u0a3e\u0a21\u0a40 \u0a2c\u0a47\u0a28\u0a24\u0a40 \u0a2d\u0a3e\u0a38\u0a3c\u0a3e \u0a35\u0a3f\u0a71\u0a1a \u0a09\u0a2a\u0a32\u0a2c\u0a27 \u0a28\u0a39\u0a40\u0a02 \u0a39\u0a48\u0964 \u0a15\u0a3f\u0a30\u0a2a\u0a3e \u0a15\u0a30\u0a15\u0a47 \u0a07\u0a71\u0a25\u0a47 \u0a26\u0a47\u0a16\u0a4b\u0964 Amount of Rs. 35,000 crore shown under Demand for Grants No. 40, titled \u2018Transfers to States\u2019 ; use of this Demand for Grants has several administrative advantages The use of the Demand titled \u2018Transfers to States\u2019 in no way implies [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":36113,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[159,14594],"tags":[14031],"class_list":{"0":"post-42996","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-delhi","8":"category-finance","9":"tag-covid-19-vaccination"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsnarad.com\/pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
