    UG, 4th Semester (H) CC-09-TH- Regional Planning and Development 3. Planning region: Characteristics, economic regionalization and identification of Indian Planning Regions (V. Nath, P. Sengupta & TCPO) Planning region: A planning region is a segment of territory (space) over which economic decisions apply. The term 'planning' in the present context means taking decisions to implement them in order to attain economic development. Planning regions may be administrative or political regions such as state, district or the block because such regions are better in management and collecting statistical data. For proper implementation and realization of plan objectives, a planning region should have fairly homogeneous economic, to zoographical and socio-cultural structure. It should be large enough to contain a range of resources provide it economic viability. It should also internally cohesive. Its resource endowment should be that a satisfactory level of product combination consumption and exchange is feasible. It should have some nodal points to regulate the flows. According to Keeble-“Planning Region is an area that is large enough to enable substantial changes in the distribution of population and employment to take place within this boundaries, yet which is small enough for its planning problem to be viewed as a whole”. According to Klaassen- “A planning region must be large enough to take investment decisions of an economic size, must be able to supply its own industry with the necessary labour, should have a homogeneous economic structure, contain at least one growth point and have a common approach to and awareness of its problems”. As a whole- A planning region is self created living organism having a life line.

  • Socio-Economic and Political Status of Panchayats Elected Representatives (A Study of Mysore District-Karnataka)
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 5, Ver. I (May. 2014), PP 51-55 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Socio-economic and political status of panchayats Elected representatives (A Study of Mysore District-Karnataka) H. M. Mohan Kumari1 and Dr. Ashok Kumar, H2 Abstract: The paper presents the structure and functions of Panchayati raj Institutions. It also highlights the social composition of elected members and their participation in the decision making process in PRIs. Liberal Democracy is one of the basic features of the Indian Constitution. Mahatma Gandhi advocated Panchayat Raj even before Independence. The further of the Nation felt that as issues at the village levels must be addressed by the people only under self-governance and the State or the Central Governments only facilitate such self-rule through grants and by conferring autonomy on them. Panchayat system had earlier an informal setup to redress the local issues and problems of communities which were mainly social and economic in nature. They were popular institutions at micro levels and the main objective was to keep the local community in harmony and to encourage participation in the process of development. The Mysore Government in 1902 passed the Mysore Local Boards Act with a view to revitaling the rural local Government. In 1918, the Mysore Government enacted the Mysore Local Boards and Village Panchayat Act making provisions for elected representatives at the district and taluk levels. After Independence, District and Taluk Boards were set up by the Mysore Government. The first independent legislation on Panchayat Raj Institutions was enacted by the Ramakrishna Hegde Government in 1983 and was brought into effect from April 1987 with the first elections to these local bodies in rural areas.
