District officials in seven districts - Banda, Chitrakoot, Lalitpur, Banda, Chitrakoot, Hamirpur, Jalaun and Jhansi - of the region have been asked to use this fund for special warehouses and rural infrastructure centres, the official told IANS.

While Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi had got the then UPA government to announce a special economic package a few years back for Bundelkhand, the BSP and SP also have been making noises about special status for the region.
