    The key takeaways are about regional planning approaches in India, including central planning vs regional planning, aims of regional planning like reducing inequalities, and phases/strategies of regional planning.

    The different types of planning discussed are based on time approach (short term vs long term) and sectoral aspect (regional development, district and block level, national vs decentralized).

    Some of the aims of regional planning in India are to provide rational solutions to economic problems, increase production, achieve full employment, reduce poverty and unemployment, accelerate economic growth, and reduce inequalities of wealth and income.

    Historical Perspective

    Why the need felt for planning and resource inventory ?


    • Partition of the country- Productive agricultural land
    went to east and west Pakistan
    • Regional disparities on the eve of independence- The
    task of bringing the formerly princely states into the
    mainstream
    • Wars with neighboring countries resulted in the break in
    the normal planning as most of the resources were
    diverted for defense purposes
    • Monsoon failure and consequently decrease in
    agricultural development
    • Oil Crisis
    Phases of Regional Planning Since 1947

    First and Second Plans Sectoral Based

    Third Plan Balanced Regional Development

    Fourth Plan (1969-74) Area Development Planning

    Sixth Plan (1982-87) Integrated Rural Development Planning

    Post 1991 Rao-Manmohan Model

    Eleventh Plan Inclusive Growth

    President A.P.J. Abul Kalam


    planning should incorporate the provision of urban amenities
    in rural areas to reduce disparities and regional imbalances
    Approaches to Planning in India

    • Sectoral Planning – Agriculture,


    manufacturing, power, transport and
    communication, social infrastructure and
    services

    • Regional planning – Taking into account


    region in toto to bring uniform economic
    development over space
    Strategies to achieve the goals

    • Agricultural Development

    • Industrialization

    • Provision of infrastructural facilities


    (power,transport and communication)

    • Special programmes for the development of


    backward areas and groups
    Planning Regions
    Definition

    • Segment of territory or space over which economic


    decisions apply to attain economic development

    • An area that is large enough to enable substantial


    changes in the distribution of population and
    employment to take place within its boundaries , yet
    which is small enough for its planning problems

    • Coincide with the administrative regions
