Visioning for Planning
 GPs were provided with Map based pictorial
statistics of 17 important indicators related to 13
areas of development & comparative position
within the Block & District after election in 2008
 Planning was one of the topic covered in one
week residential training of all PRI functionaries
 An annual exercise of score based selfevaluation of progress made & status of delivery
of services is done by every panchayat – to show
the gaps to be covered
 Every GP also has the household survey data in
their computer which shows the socio-economic
status of the population
 The Road Map for PRI has been communicated to
all the PRIs to get a broad vision

Visioning & Resources for Planning
 GP Baseline Data (2007-08) in 11 BRGF districts forming
the basis of annual GP plans - followed up by annual
updation at the time of planning exercise
 Resources that will be available to the PRI is
communicated before the start of the year
 The Committee on Finance & Planning allocates the same
for each Standing Committee to draw out their plans &
budget is also prepared for each such committee
 District sector budget of the line departments are
generally not available – discussed later in Standing Com’
 Own resources & people’s contribution are included
 Thus the planning is restricted to what PRI may do with
resources under their direct control

People Centred Bottom Up Planning
 The Planning process starts at the habitation level
 The process is facilitated by a team called GPFT – for
which around 6 to 8 volunteers are drawn from the locality
 The entry point is preparation of resource map – both
social & natural in a participatory mode and use of simple
PRA tools
 The process identifies the priority of schemes in different
sectors for each Gram Sansad and is aggregated at GP
level
 Labour budget for NREGA is also worked out for each
Sansad for integrating the same with the plan
 It also identifies activities with little or no cost to be
carried out at the Sansad level based on principles of
subsidiarity

Facilitation for Planning
 Collection of relevant data from each household,
through neighbourhood level interactions and
intense participation, more as a tool for learning &
empowerment
 Analysis of problems, resources & potentials by
communities at Gram Sansad level
 Prioritisation of action points based on needs &
resources
 Preparation of Annual Action Plan
 The entire process takes around six months to
complete & requires one professional for
providing support to around every 7-8 GPs
 Such plans are being prepared in 1050 out of
total 3351 GPs of the state & the remaining GPs
will be covered by the end of the 11th Plan period 14

No permission of higher tier or govt necessary
 However, vetting of engineering schemes are to
be done appropriately
Implementation of GS level activities mostly by

Map Based Area Planning
 An initiative has been taken to prepare GIS Maps
of all GPs to assist area planning & convergence
 The outline of GP boundary worked out using
Thana map
 The PMGSY Core Network has been ported on
the maps (99% completed)
All public utilities have been captured using hand
held GPS and shown in the Map (72% completed)
 The natural features seen from satellite have
been superimposed on the Maps to locate
habitations, water bodies, forests etc (65% over)
 The Maps are available in different layers and
GPS & software is going to be provided up to
Block level for capturing new data and updation

Current Strategy
All plans for all planning units (ULBs & RLBs)
: including plans of district level line departments will be
entered into Plan Plus
Current CB Plan
: Identifying & developing Block level resource persons
Future Plan
:
Upgradation of GP Level infrastructure & human
resources for effective implementation of Plan Plus
