“With reference to the Development Co-operation Agreement dated lOth June, 1973, between the Government of Sweden and the Government

the honour to propose the following :
1. The Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) will make available to the Department of Family Planning 640 tons of offset
paper at a calculated C&F value of about three million Swedish Kr. (SKr. 3,00,000) to be used within the Indian Family Planning
Programme.
2. The C & F price of the offset paper paid by SIDA shall be charged to the amount made available by the Government of Sweden
to the Government of India in accordance with Article 1 (iii) of the Development Co-operation Agreement 1973.
3. The Ministry of Health and Family Planning shall be competent to represent the Government of India in the implementation of this
