Manual for Integrated District Planning

Abstract

The Task Force under her chairmanship has now submitted its report in November, 2008. This manual is a step by step guide to district planning which will assist planners at the local, district and State levels. District planning, by taking into account resources locally available, infrastructure status and gaps, the aims and vision of the local people and weighing options of lead sectors, would definitely foster inclusive growth. The enhanced level of transparency at all levels will not only help in understanding the disparities between the living standards of people but also enable equitable and humane planning.
