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.
