Decentralized Planning
at District Level
Presentation by State Planning Commission
1
Status before Decentralized Planning
• Top-down approach
• Lack of consultation with community and elected
representatives
• Absence of geographical unit wise plans for village,
urban ward, gram panchayat etc.
• No depiction of 'Activity details' of any scheme
• Absence of 'Beneficiary details' in the district plan
• Absence of an 'Integrated District Plan'
• Plans were not available in public domain
2
Innovation
• The process of Decentralized District Planning (DDP)
piloted in 5 districts in 2009 and rolled-out to all 50
districts of state in 2010
 Guidelines, formats, financial support and trainings provided
• Software launched - www.mpforest.org/dcpnew
which facilitated online entries, analyses, work
approvals and monitoring
 MP Software appreciated by Planning Commission, GoI
