Iho country has already accepted the pri.iciple of development throu^ planned efforts. "Ihe Pla^-nLng process started in the year 1951 ■when the flrgt live Year Plan was launched for securing pla^med developnent of the countly with a view to raising the standard of living of the masses. Successive KLve Year Plans have stressed the importance of decentralizing the planning process, so that National and State Plans reflect local potentials and pidorities. Planning experience has shown that macro-level decisions on sectoral schenes and financial outlays tend to ignore the socio-economic and physio-geo graphic variety of conditions in different parts of the countiy a^id may fail to bring about inter-sectoral ^nchroidzation of development at the local level. Ihis over-looking of the .spatial dimension in pleririing has led to the anergence of regionel. imbalances. It has also resulted in considerable infraf*.tuoUs effort ats well as heavy burden on puolic exchequer. Thus/ integrated planning at the local level is of cruci^ importance. It is, in parti»iJla.r, the sine qua non for the. benefits of planning to reach the poor and weaker sections o f the society and also taking care of the special needs of economically backv/ard areas. Mter about three decades of plaiiriing and development in the countiy^ it is now quite clear that a balance has to be struck between national priorities and local needs of a region/di strict. Ihe macro level sectoral planning has, no doubt, shown some gains at the- local level but the impact has rather been unevcsi. This has created problems specially for backward areas. It is, therefore, obvious that within the framevxDrk of national priorities, a regional plan at macro level should be prepared liiich should provide necessaiy guide-lines -within ■vj^Lich detailed planning at micro level can be done. Ihe efforts made in the previous thsee decades through National Development Plans in the country have given rise to the need of comprehensive regional development plans at sub-n-ational, state and sub-state levels, ,3iich a realization would help in more effective implanentation of National State development plais. National azid State plans would get an effective coordination, integration ahd ^^nchroni zation in space and time if they are properly executed through regional or area development plans. Strategy for balanced rsgionsl growtii has been incorporated in various five Year Plans at National level. Ihe first Five Year Plan aimed at raising productivity and achieving possihlo mea.sures of social justice. In the Second Jive Year Plan, the anphasis was laid on preparation of comprishensive development plans to Increase the national income, achieve rapid industrials.za^tion ttirou^ establishment of basic and heavy industries and reduce inequalities, TAii.croa^ .in the Third Five Year Plan, efforts were concentrated mainly on the sectoral planning, neglecting horizontal rcla'tionship in space.. In the beginning of tiie Ihird Five Year PlfJi, lit was felt that the development efforts through the earlier twD five year plans have not taken into consideration the horizontal dimension of planning^ i;rricrinr; the complonentaiy parts of projects like industries, irrigation, agriculture, Ihe main lacuna of the regioneil planning efforts in the earlier five year pla.ns was that benefits of development programmes could not diffuse over a larger region and consequently, the roTal areas still remadned undeveloped or underdeveloped.
