The difference in the actual versus planned targets is observed in mostly in indicators that measure performance under the newly added component i.e. Component 4, which in turn was added to the project as part of the AF-cum-restructuring. I am hopeful that we will be able to achieve the end targets since we are left with 2.5 years. Going forward, the actual value of these indicators is expected to increase when implementation of activities under the fourth component, which was included in to the project as part of the AF and whose implementation begun only after the MTR, is improved and expedited.
