OBJECTIVES, CONTENTS AND
PROCEDURES FOR PREPARATION
AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
REGIONAL PLANS, DEVELOPMENT
PLANS.
VARIOUS OBJECTIVES OF PLANNING
The following objectives are envisaged to be achieved through this Policy:
Efficient allocation of Urban Land so that Urban Development is done in a resource conserving manner.
Government land will be available in adequate quantities at the right time and on reasonable prices to both
Development Authorities & individuals.
Provide and made available access of land to the poor and marginalized sections of the society.
Equal distribution of land so that inequalities can be minimized.
Development of co-operative community and individual developers in the field of Urban Development and Housing
through PPP model.
Establishment of CDP Infrastructure Development Fund (CIDF) for financing of urban development & social housing by
leveraging land as a resource.
To provide for an effective and efficient institutional mechanism for coordinating the efforts of various departments and
agencies in implementation of development plans.
. Following are the stages of planning
PLANNING PROCESS
process:
Spatial development planning is a continuous, time‐ oriented, cyclic
Development of Aims and Objectives
process and should be seen and practised as a process where
Identification of site needs
planning, implementation, monitoring, review and plan updating go
Identification of projected needs
on a s a dynamic process. In this process, the decision to prepare a
Plan formulation
plan is outside the cycle of planning process. The following diagram Inclusive planning
portrays the general process of planning. Statutory obligations
Decentralisation of plan approval
process
People’s participation
Plan modification
Review and revision of plans.
Relationship of the Planning System
Regional Plan is to be prepared for the area identified as formal or functional region, which could be
state/ inter‐state/ district/ inter‐district, investment region or special area. If region so identified is
inter‐state, all such states will need to prepare sub regional plans for their respective areas. For a
regional plan for a normal region, the following key contents to be included:
Introduction of the Region
Analysis of regional resources
Projected requirements
Major proposals and projects
Implementation Plan
Introduction of the Region
About the Region
Constituted areas: Region, Sub‐region, Functional areas, Growth centres etc.
Ratio of Urban and rural development
Region Morphology
IMPLEMENTATION OF REGIONAL PLAN
Implementation strategies for the region for land and resource mobilisation.
Co‐ordination of local bodies and authorities and integrated management structure for the
region.
Estimation of the Fiscal requirement phase‐wise and source of fund. Specifying projects to be
taken up under PPP.
Capacity building for manpower and preparation of its work plan as per State policy.
Priorities of the developmental projects and further detailing of plans.
Framework of monitoring and its mechanism.
Contents of Development Plan should be formulated in accordance with statutory provisions of the relevant Act. With
the view of saving time and also developing a participatory system of planning, necessary information from secondary
sources should be utilised, as far as practicable and primary surveys should be conducted only when it is unavoidable.
Conceived within the framework of the perspective plan and adjusted as per the Regional District Plan, a Developmental
Plan is to be prepared for a period of 20‐30 years. While preparing Development Plan, special attention must be paid on
safety, security and participation of women, the elderly, and other segments of society requiring special needs.
The Development plan should contain the following major heads:
Existing Conditions and Development Issues
Assessment of Deficiencies and Projected Requirements
Vision and Mission
Development Proposals
Implementation Plan
IMPLEMENTATION OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Following inputs from preceding stages and prevailing Statutes, a seamless plan implementation schedule must be
prepared for Development Plan. It should contain roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders, resource mobilisation
framework and phase‐wise implementation schedule for planned project activities. The key aspects to be covered in the
Implementation framework should be in line with aims, objectives and prioritised projects and schemes. Implementation
framework may include the following:
Priorities of projects and research
Phasing of developmental activities
Proposal for land resource mobilisation
Investment Strategy and Promotion
Institutional set‐up
Priorities: Classify various projects identified as a part of development proposals by priority as under
Essentials (top priority)
Necessary (2nd priority)
Acceptable and desirable (3rd priority)
Deferrable (4th priority)
Projects and research should be identified by phases and implementing agencies (including private and
corporate sectors) to be given as per the institutional set‐up .
Phasing: Development Plan should advisably be in phases of 5 years to coincide with the State Five Year Plans. The
targets set for each phase can be assessed as the mid‐term review against the achievements at the end of each phase.
For Greenfield area phasing could include a ‘Zero’ period for approvals, institutional set‐up, initial land pooling and
revisiting any strategy.
Proposal for land resource mobilisation: Implementation mechanism detailing approaches for land polling and
development in lines with the suggested mechanism in the State Perspective Plan.
Investment Strategy: Proposals for fiscal resource mobilisation including:
Internal revenue
Grants & Aids
Institutional finance
Market borrowing
Private sector finance
Institutional Setup to clearly provide Stakeholders’ role and responsibility and organisation chart.
