Draft Annual Plan 1987-88 Volume 1 Notes: Government of Andhra Pradesh

Abstract

From Introduction: As we march into the middle year of the Seventh Five Year Plan, Andhra Pradesh Government have reassessed the entire gamut of plan implementation so far and reaffirmed the directions in which the plan would be implemented in the remaining years of the Seventh Five Year Plan. At the commencement of the preparation of this Annual Plan, the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh had addressed a letter to all Secretaries to Government of Andhra Pradesh stating that the poor, deprived and weaker sections of the society, particularly members of the Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes, have not received their due share even after decades of planned developmental effort. Therefore, it was essential to rectify this situation. The Annual Plan 1987--88 should bear a, distinct impress of our resolve to tilt our ’developmental efforts markedly and substantially in favour of these sections of our people.
