Sixth Five Year Plan 1980-85 & Annual Plan 1981-82 (Delhi)

Abstract

From Introduction: The total geographical area of the Union Territory of Delhi is 1485 Sq. Kms. It is predominantly urban in character as the urban population accounts for 84.4% of the total population. Delhi is National Capital and as such has to maintain certain standard of public amenities & services. On account of these factors and other peculiar characteristics of this territory, the needs and priorities of Delhi are different from those of other states and Union Territories. Agriculture has a limited scope due to the process of urbanisation taking place. Emphasis in the plan has, therefore, been laid on sectors of Water Supply and Sewerage, Power, Transport & Communication, Education, Housing, Urban Development and Medical.
