This initiative of the government is supported by CTRAN Consulting in facilitating the planning process with the involvement of District Administration and coordination by the District Planning and Monitoring Unit [DPMU]. In the process of facilitation of planning process, utmost care was taken to involve different stakeholders from GP to ZP level and all line departments of Government. The manual for Decentralised Planning, prescribed by the Planning Commission, Government of India was adhered to. The district vision was again revisited and five year perspective and monitorable targets were framed in line with the district vision. In the process of planning facilitation, consultation meetings were organised with various stakeholders from time to time at the district, block and GP level to capture the key requirements of the area and people. The identified development requirements were prioritised by GP and PS to match the needs and resources and phasing of the plans. All the GP plans, framed and approved in the Gram Sabha were consolidated at the block level and further at the district level to finalise the plan taking along with the departmental plans. Different new schemes, in relevant areas of development were thought of to implement in the plan period to achieve the sector growth. Key areas of convergence were identified and also planned. Apart from that gender sub-plan and SC and ST sub-plans were also prepared based on the available resources.
