SECOND FIVE-YEAR PLAN 1 ^ - 1 9 6 1 Andhra Pradesh Planning and Development Department Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad 1957 PREFACE With the Reorganisation of States from 1st November 1956, the need for an integrated Plan of Andhra Pradesh comprising the plan of erstwhile Andhra and that relating to the Telangana region of erstwhile Hyderabad was increasingly felt. After the formation of Andhra Pradesh, we could only obtain a tentative break-up of the Com posite Hyderabad State Plan. The allocation of the pkn of erstwhile Hyderabad between Telangana, Kar nataka and Maiathwada has been approved only recently by the Planning Commission. An attempt has, therefore, been made to brmg together the revised plan of the Ardhra region and the plan for the Telangana region in order to provide the plan of Andhra Pradesh and the result is the present publication. This publication is divided into three parts. Part I deals with the General aspects and gives a bird’s-eye view of the economy of the State together with an outline of the Second Plan and how it is proposed to be financed. Part II gives in detail the schemes proposed to be im plemented along with the targets programmed to be achieved and Part III contains statistical appendices rekvant to the plan schemes. Schemes included in the plan and not yet taken over for execution in 1956-57 or 1957-58 will have to be im plemented in the next three years. Although the plan is flexible to admit of changes in the schemes included in the plan, the greatest amount of care has to be exercised by the Departments in proposing changes. There are, naturally, uncertainties attached to the various estimates made for the Five-Year Period. Some of the programmes set forth in the plan may take a little more time for com pletion while in a few cases they may be completed earlier. Thm there are developments at home and abroad, mostly economic, which may necessitate adjustments in the Pkn. The State Government operates in terms of an annual budget which offers a natural opportunity for re\iewing and adjusting the phasing indicated in the iii IV Five-Year Plan. It is hoped that such opportunity will be availed of by Departments in good time for a thorougli review of the schemes and their phasing. Hyderabad C. N a r a s im h a m , 10th Julpt 1957.
