For the years 1956-57 and 1957-58 District Plans of each district representing the District segments of the State Plan were published and supplied to all the . As they are found to serve a real need, it is proposed to publish the district plans for each year for the rest of the Second Plan period. The present publication is the third in the series and relates to the year 1958-59.

As in the case of the earlier publications. Part I of the book gives general statistical information’ pertaining to the district, ^which has been brought up-to-date, togeth­ er with a brief account of'the State’s third year program­ me under the Second Five-year Plan and Part II gives the details of programmes of development works It is hoped that th h publication would be of some use at the district level where there is real need for a close co-ordination between the State plan schemes, the Community develop­ ment Program.mes, centrally sponsored schemes, the acti­ vities of the various All- Boards, the Khadiand Villa­ ge Industries Commission and the normal departments. Suggestions to improve this publication are welcome and they may be communicated to the Deputy Secretary (Planning) Government of Andhra Pradesh, .

AN OUTLINE OF THE THIRD YEAR PROGRAMME OF THE SECOND PLAN.

The outlay during the third year of the Second Plan was fixed at Rs 30.02 crores after discussions by the Officers of the State Government with those in the Planning Commission and the Central Ministries. Subse­ quent to that the provisions ear-marked \^’ere slightly altered in respect of certain schemes necessitated by adnninstrative reasons and other factors. The provisions earimarked for each head of development as it stands tod ay can be seen from Statement I. The outlay proposed in the current year falls short of the outlay proposed for the Second year programme by abo>ut Rs 4.00 crores though ordinarily the outlay during 10 the third year should have been the largest in view of the fact that the rate of expenditure becomes larger as the projects included in the Plan period and administrative arrangements are developed. But the outlay during the current year has been coniitioned by the tight foreign exchange situation, the Central assistance made available to this State, the State financial resources and lastly by the progress made so far by each scheme together with their potential for immediate returns. The provisions made during the first three years of the Second Plan can be seen from Statement TT.

It will be seen that the priorities followed in the progr­ amme are almost the same as those during the year 1957- 58 excepting that the outlay on Agricultural Programmes has been increased and that on Irrigation and Power has been reduced. This is obvious on. account of the empha­ sis that is now placed on increasing swiftly agriculturail production. The progressive reduction in the outlay oo Irrigation and Power is also striking as the outlay which was of the order of Rs 16.42 crores in 1956-57 was reduc­ ed to Rs 15.77 crores in 1957-58 and further to Rs. 12*99 crores in the current year. Quantitatively the outlay on all other heads of development has suffered a cut as com­ pared to the outlay during 1957-58 excepting under Agri­ cultural programmes where the provision has been increa­ sed by about Rs 69.00 lakhs.

Detailed description of the schemes proposed to be implemented during the current vear together with the provisions made and targets programmed to be achieved will be found in Part II, 11
