GIM has been approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic 3.2
Affairs (CCEA) in February 2014 with a projected cost of INR 13000
crore (approx. USD 2.167 billion) and one year spill over in Thirteenth
Five Year Plan. This includes INR 2,000 crore (approx. USD 333.33
million) from Twelfth Plan Outlay, INR 400 crore (approx. USD 66.67
million) from Thirteenth Finance Commission grant, and convergence
with CAMPA to the tune of INR 6,000 crore (approx. USD 1 billion),
and MNREGS to the tune of INR 4,000 crore (approx. USD 666.67
million). At the national level, the mission would seek convergence
with other missions, programmes, and schemes such as Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS),
Compensatory Afforestation Management and Planning Authority
(CAMPA), National Afforestation Program (NAP), National Rural
Livelihood Mission, and Integrated Watershed Management Program.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MOEFCC)
has already issued guidelines for convergence of GIM with MGNREGS
and CAMPA. Table 2.22 discusses the various sub-missions and
components, stated in the GIM.
