THE PERSPECTIVE. Planning for the development of Tamil Nadu in the last three decade has resulted in some loteworthy achievements. Since 1960-61 State income has increased by 58 per cent at constant fricts and foodgrains production by 40 per cent in physical terms ; industrial income increased ty nore than 6 | times. Output of electric power in million units increased from 632 in 1950-51 to S,543 in 1980-81, a fifteen-fold increase. These are achievements which undoubtedly have added t) tie material wellbeing of the people. But the success or otherwise of planning has to be judged not to much in terms of the country’s progress, as in terms of the peoples progress , for it is obvious tlat there is no meaning in economic development unless there is a development of the people at tie individual level as well as at the Community and State level. tlowever, the benefits of development have not steped down to the masses. Undoubdtedly' tie administrators have become plan conscious and the functioning of almost every department o* tlie State has been attuned to the requirements of planned development. But this cannot be sad Df the people in general. They have not become plan conscious to any appreciable extent aid :heir enthusiasm in planned effort of the State has not been fully awakened. This attitudinal change is something which has to be achieved in the course of the next two o; three plans. The Sixth Five-Year Plan which is launched now marks a definite landmark, pjrhips a turning point, in so far as it is conceived and shaped by a Government based on the tpoutaneous co-operation of the masses and dedicated to the welfare of ths poor. With this end ii vitw, the present plan intends taking definite and purposeful steps towards making the planning mUi broad based. Special eftorts will be made to establish a closer rapport between the Govern- mint and the planning agencies on the one hand and the people, particularly the rural masses. oi thJ other. This can be done by setting up planning units in charge of groups of blocks. These pUnring units will represent the needs and probelems of the blocks to the planning body which in turn would seek out means of formulating proposals to solve the psblems and eradicate the evls. These proposals, will be incorporated in the planned programmes under the different head> of de/elopment. Simultaneously, the local agencies or planning units will fcepp a close watcn over th: implementation of the schemes and keep th“ Government and the planning body informed ab)utthe shortfalls and in adequacies in implementation. This is of the greatest importance because it s n>w becoming more and more obvious that the best laid plans ‘ gc awry ‘ because of failure at-he execution stage. Apart from supervision of implementation at the block or village level by helocal planningunits,it woula be necessary to organize a monitoring and evaluation machinery usiig iphisticated techniques to be introduced in atleast some of the sectors. Another problem which has been thrown up in recent years is the increasing need for better mcbilsation of the State’s real and financial resources. The problem has to be tackled at twn eids firstly, the need for more and more financial resources be kept within limits.Attention shaild be diverted more to achieving the physcial target (which of course should be fixed a t reisoiable level) by streamling the procedure ofexecuting the project, avoiding wastage of time ene*gy and physcial resources and concentrating more on results than on spendings. In short theplan should be achivement oriented. There is apple evidence to show that there is substantial un(erLtilisation of capital capacity in many sectors. Inview of the financial constraints it is of of he greatest importance to devote special attention to the better utilisation ofexisting capital capcily before going in for an additional capital installation-be it the setting up of amachinery or :on>tructing a new building. When capital is so scarce, it is only prudence to ensure that eaci npee is made to go as far as possible. (>i) On the other hand, it is equally important to take special steps for better mobilization of resc»ur> ces. It involves, streamlining the tax machinery and administration, closing the loopholes in collection, exploiting the scope for new taxes, and adding to the rates of existing taxes. One impor­ tant source is public enteprises—^power industry, transport undertakings etc. These are publitc utihties, but they are of a commercial nature and should be organized and operated in such ai manner that they are made at least to pay their way. In the context of a rapidly worssning infla­ tionary situation the responsibility for increased mobilisation becomes all the greater. Taking stock of the past trends and stretching one's vision over the next two decades, it iss possible to visuahse certain broad trends in development. The population of the State wo-uUd increase from the present 476 lakhs (1980) to about 546 lakhs in 1985 and 672 lakhs in 2000 A.. D). Correspondingly the density per sq. km. would become 517 (2000 A.D.) instead of the pres.enit 366. The number of students coming out successful in the S.S.L.C. examination would incrcasse from 89423 in 1977-78 to 165000 in 1985 and 425000 in 2000. This would aggravate the problerai of providing employment to the educated. It is necessary even at this stage to give serious thoutghit to the need for matching demand and supply. New courses are to be started and employmemt oriented schemes of educational reform are to be implemented which would keep the supply antd demand for educated psrsonnel more or less in ba,lance .
