Planning & Monitoring in Uttar Pradesh: A Status Paper for Eighth Five Year Plan

Abstract

It is believed that the better the quality of a plan, the more efficient will be its implementation. It is this belief which calls for maximum efforts by all of us to make the contents and quality of State’s Eighth Five Year Plan as best as we can and thereby pave the way for its efficient implementation. The plan formulation is a very complex and intricate exercise. It calls for a variety of inputs, all of which cannot necessarily come from one single source. Realizing this limitation, the state's Planning Department has commissioned a number of studies and has prepared several basic papers on subjects relevant to the exercise of State's Eighth Plan.
