All the targets are being formulated in the annual action plan of the corporation. Corporation would be able to achieve the remaining targets of the Xth plan under the broad long terms objectives and vigorous efforts.
U.P. Financial Corporation (UPFC) Kanpur
U.P. financial Corporation was corporation was established in the year 1954 under the SFC’s Act 1951.the main aim of the corporation is to help the industrialization of the state by extending term lone and working capital term loans to green filed ventures.

This not only helps in checking the delays in disbursement of loans but also in scheduled implementation of the projects, leading to some interest recovery during current financial year as well. For effective monitoring from the stage of registration to the disbursement of loan, weekly progress is being reviewed.
In present economic scenario where industrial sector is hit by recession and various industrial units in small scale sector are finding it difficult to survive for several reasons, leading to increase in NPAs, it was necessary for the corporation to review and streamline its existing procedure for recovery of dues to ensure effective and close monitoring of all the chronic accounts, particularly NPA accounts.

GREATER NOIDA

Commercial :
- For the year 2005-06 against the target of 43 acres of land, we have received Rs.4.41 cores till date.
- For the year 2006-07 against the target of 37.68 ha. of land there will be receipt of Rs. 284.85 cores.

It is, thus, expected that with the help of the above efforts there would be qualitative increase in industrial growth which would ultimately contribute to the strengthening of the economic health of the state.
Externally Aided Projects
The process of development in Uttar Pradesh has not gained the expected momentum mainly due to lack of resources. In a situation like this, externally aided projects are of vital importance towards increasing the state resources for development. Finance from external agencies is an important means, not only to raise urgently need of resources for targeted areas, but also to introduce enhanced level of professionalism and rigour in programmes management.
External aid constitutes an important source for financing sect oral and regional development programmes. Uttar Pradesh receives foreign aid in the shape of additional central assistance, through Govt. of India under bilateral assistance and assistance from multilateral donor agencies such as world bank, ADB, JBIC, OPEC and EEC etc. technical assistance provided by certain countries and organizations like WB, WHO,JICA and USAID for training of personnel, import of equipments for research projects, for project preparation etc. provide important input in conception and implementation of development projects.
Major Advantages of EAPs
- In the center- state relation, transfer of funds to state consists of four component viz :
- transfer of funds as per finance commission’s recommendation, which are fixed for five years;
- central assistance, which is fixed as per Gadgil formula;
- small saving lone, which is fixed at 75% of the amount deposited by the state;
- additional central assistance, which is fixed for EAPs.
It shows that flexibility exits only in the area of ACA in augmenting the state resources. It may be noted that prior to acceptance of the recommendations of the twelfth finance commission by govt. of India, one major advantage with additional central assistance was that of total amount received, only 70% was to be paid back, rest 30% was grant better performance in EAPs meant more disbursement by the donor, resulting in more ACA to the state . thus the state could take the advantage of having externally aided projects which would augment the State resource for financing its annul plan.
However, from the current financial year, it has been decided by Govt. of India that funds received under EAP would be transferred to the states by the central Govt. on the same terms and condition as that made available by the donor. Thus, while States stand to gain if they receive soft loans like IDA from the world Bank, they stand to lose if they go in for the costlier IBRD loans which carry a higher interest rate and a shorter repayment period.
Annual Plan 2006-2007
During recently held meeting with Yojna Ayog in New Delhi, an outlay of Rs. 1054.85 crore with a reimbursable portion of Rs. 854.00 crore has been earmarked for the state for the year 2006-07 for projects of Irrigation, Road, Agriculture and health etc. a strategy has been prepared by the concerned departments for timely achievement of targets.
