Draft Annual Plan 1988-89 (Lakshadweep)

Abstract

From Introduction: The magnitude of changes which the Union Territory of Lakshadweep has seen in the course of planned development is certainly more striking than in almost any other part of the country. With the formation of the Island Development Authority under the chairmanship of the Honourable Prime Minister of India for drawing integrated developmental programmes for the islands lying in both sides of Indian peninsula, the seventh plan proposals for this territory have taken a new turn. I.D.A. has formed a number of expert committees to study the various problems and the requirements of Lakshadweep, while a number of reports and recommendations have already been received and incorporated in revision of the Seventh Five Year Plan for Lakshadweep during the last two years further study reports have come in and these form part of the proposals for the year 1908-09. More reports are expected daring the year next.
