The state would submit a proposal of Rs 2,500, which is Rs 500 crore more than the plan size for 2009-2010.
Several ministers, including Chairman of Meghalaya State Planning Board Dr Donkupar Roy and top-notch government officials, would accompany the chief minister to New Delhi and urge the Planning Commission to approve the state’s proposed plan allocation.
Last year, the Planning Commission had fixed the annual plan outlay for Meghalaya for 2008-09 at Rs 1500 crore, up from Rs 1120 crore in 2007-08.
''In the past, the Planning Commission had earmarked less amount than what the state had projected as the annual plan for 2009-2010,'' official sources said on Sunday.
Sources said the Planning Commission was expected to finalise in the meeting the amount to be earmarked as the state's annual plan.
Usually, the Planning Commission approves the annual plan of various states between February and March. However, this year there was a delay in view of the 14th Lok Sabha elections that were completed in May.
