Background



Government appointed High Power Committee for
Redressal of Regional Imbalances (HPCRRI)
under Dr. D.M. Nanjundappa in October 2000
HPCRRI was asked to study regional disparities
existing in the State & to advise the Govt. &
recommend appropriate strategies for
development to minimise inter-district & interregional disparities
HPCRRI was also asked to suggest an appropriate
institutional mechanism for implementing the
strategy for moving towards balanced development
2
Report of HPCRRI

The Committee presented the Report in June 2002

The methodology adopted by the HPCRRI to measure
disparity comprises a two fold approach
o
(a) to determine overall level of backwardness of taluk
by evolving Comprehensive Composite Development
Index (CCDI) using 35 indicators
o
(b) to consider taluks which are classified as Most
Backward, More Backward and Backward Taluks

The 35 indicators spread over sectors like Agriculture &
Allied; Industry, Trade & Finance; Economic
Infrastructure; Social Infrastructure & Population
Characteristics

Computation of CCDI





Actual Data of Indicators was collected
Data was Normalised with respect to State
Average
Weights at two levels are then used to
arrive at CCDI for the taluk
In the first level, the Normalised values are
multiplied by the weight assigned to each
indicator within the Sector and added
In the 2nd level, these sector specific
values so arrived are multiplied by weights
given to the sector to arrive at CCDI
9
Classification of Taluks
 The taluks were classified based on the values of CCDI as follows:
Taluk
Most Backward
More Backward
Backward
Relatively Devp.

 Madikeri Taluk in Kodagu District has the highest index(1.96)
& Devadurga taluk in Raichur District has the lowest index (0.53)
 Top 10 taluks as per CCDI have only one taluk from North;
whereas all the bottom 10 taluks are from North

Objectives of Special Dev. Plan





A total of Rs. 30725 cr. from 2007-08, to be
invested over a period of 8 years – 50 % from
Normal Plan and 50 % through additional outlay
Accelerate growth in backward taluks through
additional investment in various sectors/areas
Building infrastructure to make good the
identified backlog in the backward taluks
Establishing the needed institutions/organisations
Providing location specific sectoral schemes in
backward taluks

Features of Special Dev. Plan






It is proposed to allocate funds in the ratio of 10%,
20%, 15%, 15%, 15%, 10%, 10% and 5%
respectively in the next eight years
In the 2nd and subsequent years, the allocations have
been enhanced by 5% annual inflation
The SDP does not take into account the
recommendations
already
implemented
and
investment already made during the period June 2002
to March 2007
The current years provision is Rs. 1571.5 crores
Within the allocated amount to the sector, the amount
is to be distributed among the Most Backward, More
Backward and Backward Taluks in the ratio of
50:30:20
A special cell to be created in Planning Dept

The implementing departments to prepare sectoral
Perspective Plans for eight year period 2007-08 to 2014-15
Implementing departments to list out achievements already
made as per HPCRRI Report
Target Outcomes as per HPCRRI Report
Measures to control Population growth in North Karnataka;
No village without school
Consider AP model of one medical college per district
Sub-market to deal exclusively with potato, chilli etc.
20000 hectares of land under fodder cultivation
Promotion of inland fisheries in Raichur & Shimoga districts
All district HQs to be linked to Bangalore by air
IT investments to be attracted to Hyderabad-Karnataka
Thrust on girls’ hostels
All tourist places to be developed in phased manner
18
Coverage of SDP

The sectoral development plan should cover
Normal Plan Outlay plus net additional
outlays provided under SDP

The departments should provide equal or
more amount under Normal outlays as
compared to provision under SDP

The Normal outlays include : EAP, IEBR,
NABARD & HUDCO assistance, ACA and
also State component under CSS
19
Preparation of Annual Action Plan



Each department to prepare Action Plans
considering
the
schemes/projects
as
recommended in the HPCRRI Report
Project profile should be prepared by
departments for the additional outlays taking
specific deficiencies and also the specific
locations identified by the HPCRRI
The departments to submit Annual Action
Plans(AAPs) to Planning Dept. for approval
20
Review of SDP

Planning Dept to approve AAPs and
ensure their implementation as per
guidelines

A High Power Committee to be
constituted under the chairmanship of
Deputy Chairman, SPB. The Committee
to
conduct
periodical
review
of
implementation of SDP

The implementation of SDP is to be
monitored in KDP as a separate subject
21
Appraisal & Evaluation





To enable each taluk to carryout a fresh appraisal of
their needs and prepare taluk level plan, Planning
department has created Taluk level Planning Units in
59 taluks.
CEOs to ensure furnishing of taluk level data for 35
indicators for revision of CCDI
In order to know the impact of investment made
under SDP, the Planning department will ensure
computation of taluk-wise CCDI in 2008-09, 2011-12
and 2014-15
Based on the changes noted in CCDI, Planning
department will take corrective measures for resource
allocation
The Planning Department will carry out evaluation as
required

PD would approve AAPs for the year 2008-09 and
subsequent years contingent to the departments
providing the required allocation for backward regions
out of their Normal allocations. PD is preparing
Templates for the departments to furnish information
Some departments are provided more outlays and some
depts. are provided less outlays in 2007-08 than what
was required as per SDP
Examples: Roads have a provision of Rs. 125 crores
against Rs. 50 crores to be provided; Rural Water Supply
has provision of Rs. 90 crores as against Rs. 225 crores to
be provided; Urban Water Supply & Slum Improvement
has no provision against Rs. 150 crores to be provided
Adjustments to be made in the departments outlays in
2008-09 onwards by taking into account the provision
and expenditure in the previous year/years. However,
departments to ensure total provision for eight years as
per SDP

. . . Implementation Issues




On appraisal of AAPs of some department, it was noted
that departments like Horticulture, Infrastructure,
Water Resources & Tourism have proposed projects
where resources do not flow in the ratio of 50:30:20 as
the investment is either location specific or indivisible
A suitable mechanism is required to ensure Region-wise
expenditure to achieve 40% achievement for Gulbarga
Region
Earmarked Outlays as approved by PD in the AAPs are
not to be diverted
Monitoring mechanism is to be formulated to Monitor
the works undertaken in SDP in each Sector level at
taluk and Division level.
