But I did not hear him say whether the Government takes into account the financial implications. That is because, once a new district is created, the entire portfolio of the Ministries is reflected in terms of manpower, at the district level. There will be a district agricultural officer, district livestock officer and so on. How much does that cost? Is that a criteria that the Government takes into account? 686 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 18, 2007"}
