Annual Plan 1984-85 Part I - Outline (Delhi)

Abstract

From Introduction: The need and priorities for a fast expanding Metropolis like Delhi are different from those of other States and Union Territories. The plans for Delhi, while they mesh with the broad policy objectives of the national plans, differ in content and strategy owing to the special characteristics and requirements of Delhi. In addition to the attainment of objectives laid down at the national level in the Sixth Five Year Plan, such as progressive reduction in the incidence of poverty and unemployment, improvement in the quality of the life of the people in general with special reference to economically and socially handicapped population, and the active involvement of all sections of the people in the process of development through appropriate education, communication and the institutional strategies, the Sixth Plan of Delhi also aims at augmentation of public utilities, civic amenities and social services.
