Non-negotiable
“We have done it ourselves”
- Lao Tsu
1) OWN THE PLAN
2) ORDERLY GROWTH IS PLAN - DISORDERLY GROWTH IS A PAIN
3) HARNESSING AVAILABLE RESOURCES IN A PLANNED MANNER MAXIMISES POSITIVE GROWTH
• You will get only available resources - But not unlimited resources
4) PLAN SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTABLE • Plan can be dreaming – But should not be day nightmarish
5) TIMELINESS FOR PREPARATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN
• Even jasmines smell rotten after their time.
6) DO NOT TRY TO BE THE WISEST MAN TO GIFT A PLAN – STAKE HOLDERS ARE WISER THAN YOU
7) DON’T BE A MISER DISTRIBUTE THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PLAN – LET ALL THE STAKE HOLDERS OWN THE PLAN
8) DO NOT FORGET TO PURCHASE HORSE SHOES AFTER BUYING THE HORSE FILLING CRITICAL GAPS IS WHAT BRGF IS ABOUT
9) PRIORITISATION IS THE CLUE – IT IS ELEMENTARY
10) LEAST DEVELOPED SHOULD GET MOST PRIORITY IN PLANNING.
• Special Component Plan • Tribal Sub-plan Are Essential in District Plan
11) NETWORKING NEEDS AND ALL AVAILABLE FUNDS
IS IMPORTANT.
• Otherwise you find your net full of holes.
12) ALL PASSAGES HAVE LEAKAGES - PLUG THEM
Have field verifications social audit reviews etc.
13)THIRD EYE REVEALS MORE
Have an independent monitoring agency to assess implementation of your
plans.
14) PUBLICISE AND FLOURISH - MAY BE ANONIMITY A GOOD TRAIT OF A BUREAUCRAT - BUT NOT OF A GOOD PLANNER.
Give wide publicity to your plan before preparation and after finalization – Meetings workshops involving VOs and Community.
15) FIX THE AGENCIES FOR EXECUTION OF WORKS – FOLLOW FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE – CORNER STONE OF DECENTRALISED PLANING
• Activity mapping helps
Setting Goals is an important step in Planning exercise
Where do we (District, Mandal, GP) want to be in next five years; ten years; twenty years ?
a) What is the rate of literacy in our District / Mandal / GP will be ?
b) What will be the number of our children in Schools ?
c) All deliveries will be in institutions or by trained workers ?
d) Where will our MMR stand ?
e) Where will our CMR stands ?f) Will all unemployed get employment ?
1) Wage earning or self employment. 2) All the unemployed will be trained in
various skillsg) All people will have access to potable Drinking
Water ?h) All the houses have drainage facility ?i) All the habitations have road connectivity ?
j) Can we have food security for all, including destitutes?
k) Can we establish rural business hubs ? l) All houses have electricity ?
We may use the millennium development Goals as a basis191 United Nations member states pledged in 2000 to meet the following eight goals by 2015:

IDENTIFY YOUR FELT NEEDS Safe drinking waterNutrition for children & mothersPlayground & teachersDispensary/Hospital with building, equipment,
medicines & doctorsLoan for the self employedTraining in trades/vocationsRoads, electricity, markets If none of these - you could have an
alternative set of needs in your district!
PRIORITISATION OF FELT NEEDS
What we will take up first ? What is the most urgent ?
What would help the poor in the village ?What would help the women & children in the
village ?What will benefit the most number of people ? If you have to make a choice, won’t you give
priority to the work that helps the poorest and the weakest in the village ?
What are the available resources?People
Know How Sramdan
Natural resources Man made assets Funds
Own funds Devolved funds Funds under various schemes Contribution from the public / NRIs etc.
Natural resources are equally important…
What is the nature of the land in the district? How much is under agriculture? How much is irrigated? How much is under forest? Mining?
What is the state of agriculture? Major crops? Scope for horticulture, animal husbandry, fisheries, fuel plantation?
What is the extent of availability of water? How much is being used for drinking water, agriculture, industry and other purposes?
How do we protect and sustain the natural resources?
Manmade resources come next .. What is the government infrastructure available? What are the private assets available? You could make a checklist - Tanks, handpumps,
schools, dispensaries, hospitals, roads, drains, veterinary dispensaries, cottage- small-scale industry, ITI, godowns, cold storages etc.
It is a good idea to complete asset registers for all Panchayats and departments!
Can you mark this on a district map? You can use the NIC to help out.
And last but not the least – the financial resources
What are the programmes in operation in your district and how much money is available under each?
Central Plan funds, State plan funds, Central finance Commission grants, State finance commission grants, Your own resources, through taxes and user charges. Do not forget salaries and maintenance expenditure
--- they are equally important.
You must invariably find out how much money is available under the following schemes,
National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme, National Rural Health Mission Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Midday Meal Scheme, Accelerated Rural Water Supply Programme Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana Integrated Child Development Scheme Indira Awas Yojana Swarna Jayanthi Gram Swarozgar Yojana Backward Regions Grant Fund Central Finance Commission Grants State Finance Commission Grants
