However, in the last six months, there has been a slowdown in the project implementation in terms of the Project failing to achieve the mutually agreed physical and financial targets of the last mission. The pending milestones relating to: a) operationalization of remaining 63 Social Care Centers (Buniyad Centers), b) appointment of district and block level audit and accounts personnel, c) operationalization of a digital accounting 5/21/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report India: Bihar Integrated Social Protection Strengthening Project (P118826) system in 50% Blocks across the State are expected to be achieved by the end of June 2019.
