2.0 Brief Overview

2.1 Introduction

Many efforts have been made by Government of India to strengthen and decentralize the planning

process so that the development funds consumed by the Plans result in effective outcomes. However,

the efforts have not sufficiently fructified in the past for many reasons. Some of them include:

• Plans are prepared for each scheme separately resulting in lack of convergence of funds and

sectoral integration.

• Planning has traditionally been done at the district level that is physically removed from the

citizens resulting in Plans that do not reflect the needs and aspirations of the people.

• There is no tight coupling between the planned outlay and the actual expenditure incurred.

• There is no integration between plans of different local governments.

In an attempt to address these problems, the Planning Commission issued guidelines in 2007 that

mandated that all plans from 11th Five Year Plan onwards should be prepared in a decentralized

manner, starting from urban and rural local governments.

Recognizing the potential of Information and Communication to de-mystify the planning process,

Ministry of Panchayati Raj in collaboration has designed and developed a software, PlanPlus, for

simplifying and strengthening the planning process.

2.2 Features

PlanPlus v2.0 software is a decentralized planning tool that facilitates district plan generation in local

language through interactive workflow among various stakeholders. The key features of the software

are:

Convergence of Funds - PlanPlus enables intelligent convergence of funds from different schemes

for an activity, there by ensuring on the one hand that the available funds are utilized to the maximum

possible extent and on the other hand that important activities are not abandoned for lack of funds.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

NIC-PID__________________________PLANPLUS________________________USERMANUAL 2.O

RELEASE DATE:01-03-2016 PAGE 9 OF 95

Sectoral Integration – PlanPlus enables sectoral integration by stimulating the planner to think in

terms of end-to-end projects rather than in terms of isolated islands of work.

Vertical & Horizontal Integration - PlanPlus provides facility for co-opting of activities of a lower tier by

a higher tier Panchayat thereby facilitating vertical integration. It also incorporates the concept of supra-

projects, which enables two or more local bodies (rural as well as urban) to collaborate to take up an

activity that is of common interest.

Workflow - Captures the workflow of Plan creation-evaluation-modification-finalization.

Generation of District Plan - PlanPlus converges and integrates the Plans of urban and rural local

governments to generate a consolidated District Plan.

Extensibility - PlanPlus can be easily extended to facilitate the preparation of state and central

governments plans.

Graphical and GIS reports - A number of graphical reports are generated to help the Planner as well

as the District Planning Committee to take a view of the investment profile of the Plan. This would help

in ensuring that the Plan is not unjustifiably skewed in favour of a particular sector.

Adaptability to the variations across states - In view of the varying levels of capacities and

experiences of different states in the Planning process, the software is being made to be easily

adaptable so that states can configure it to suit their own level.

Local Language - The software supports local languages of the states to enable local bodies to

function in their own languages.

Transparency - At every stage of the Planning process, the Plan is constantly available to the general

public for scrutiny thus enabling a transparent and participative Plan preparation.

Availability – The software is web based and is available on 24*7 basis with proper login

authentication.

A detailed description of the complete functionality of the software is provided under Specific

Operating Instructions as part of Chapter 5.

3.0 General Workflow

The Planning Workflow begins with suggestions/need/ expectations expressed either by citizens or in

Gram Sabhas/Area Sabhas or by Planning Unit. Each Planning Unit (ULBs & RLBs) identifies

activities or incorporates a suggestion and can assign it to a project.

Once activities are identified the planning units carry out a yearly exercise of preparing an Annual

Plan. Annual Plan exercise involves, listing all the activities that are supposed to be taken up in the

finanacial year, prioritizing these activities and identifying various resources (Schemes) to fund these

activities. PlanPlus enables intelligent convergence of funds from different schemes for an activity,

there by ensuring on the one hand that the available funds are utilized to the maximum possible

extent and on the other hand that important activities are not abandoned for lack of funds.

Once the planning unit has finalized the list of proposed activities with due fund allocation from

different schemes, they can forward the plan for Technical Appraisal. The system automatically routes

the plan to technical appraisal group users for scrutiny. This workflow can to customized as per State

requirement.

Fig 3.1

TAG scrutinizes the plan, gives their comment and could send back the plan to the Planning Unit for

Review or if all works are approved the plan is automatically routed to DPC.

DPC could extend its comments on the plan and could approve/review/reject the works specified in

the plan and could send it back to the planning unit for incorporating the DPC suggestion. This entire

process is iterative and could go number of revisions once a plan is finally approved by DPC.

Once DPC review all plans from Panchayats and Municipalities, District Plan is generated. In fact a

proceedings document can be generated by PlanPlus, which could be used for releasing the funds to

respective PRIs so that could start execution of approved works.
