This document provides a historical overview and summary of the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act of 1966 and discusses proposed amendments. Key points:
- The MRTP Act of 1966 promoted comprehensive regional planning in Maharashtra and was adopted by other states. It allows for regional planning, development plans, town planning schemes, and land acquisition.
- Proposed amendments aim to address issues like lack of timelines for plan preparation and implementation, unutilized land reservations, and unrealistic development plans.
- Amendments may allow town planning schemes in areas without development plans to enable faster planned development in fringe areas experiencing rapid urbanization like Pune.
- The Gujarat model provides an alternative approach to infrastructure development that
This document discusses the issue of delays in formulating town planning schemes in Gujarat, India. It notes that out of 800 total town planning schemes in Gujarat, 350 are still pending state government approval. The presentation identifies several causes of delay, including the lengthy three-stage approval process, outdated land records, lack of staff and technical capacity at local authorities, and an inadequate review process concentrated at the state level. Experts suggest streamlining the approval process, limiting the state government's role, improving land records, and utilizing private sector expertise to help expedite the formulation of town planning schemes.
Multi-level planning in India involves active participation from local institutions in the planning process, from information gathering and policymaking to implementation and monitoring. It follows principles like function-sharing, financial decentralization, and public participation. Planning occurs at multiple levels - national, state, district, block, and village - with each level building on the previous. This approach helps address local problems, better utilize resources, reduce disparities, and involve local expertise compared to centralized planning alone.
The Bihar Urban Planning and Development Act of 2012 establishes rules and authorities for urban planning and development in the state. Key aspects include:
- It establishes a Bihar Urban Planning and Development Board to advise the government and oversee planning authorities.
- Planning authorities are constituted to prepare land use maps and development plans for declared planning areas, with powers to approve development projects and levy charges.
- Development plans must be prepared for regions, zones and towns, addressing land use, infrastructure, housing and conservation over 20-year timeframes and revised every 10 years.
- The act controls land development by requiring permissions, establishes penalties for unauthorized construction, and allows for acquisition of land needed for public projects.

The document discusses laws related to tribal land rights in India, including the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA) of 1996 and the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act of 2006. Key objectives of these acts are to empower tribal communities, recognize their customary land rights, and ensure their livelihoods and poverty alleviation. Major provisions give ownership of minor forest produces and land to local Gram Sabhas (village councils) and require their consultation for projects involving land acquisition or rehabilitation. Issues in implementing the acts related to land acquisition are also reviewed.
Our Forest Our Rights - Report on the status of implementation of Forest Righ...ActionAid India
This document provides an overview and introduction to a study on the implementation status of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) 2006 in eight Indian states. The FRA aims to recognize forest-dwelling communities' rights over forest lands and resources. The study examines the formation of forest rights committees, the claims settlement process, and rights recognized at various levels in these states based on primary data collection and analysis of secondary data from government websites. Key findings include variation across states in committee formation and in recognizing individual versus community forest rights. The study aims to understand gaps and suggest improvements to FRA implementation.
The document summarizes the history and functions of Panchayati Raj, India's system of local self-government. Key points include:
- Panchayati Raj was established in 1957 to provide democratic local governance through village councils at three levels - village, block, and district.
- The 73rd amendment in 1993 gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj, mandating elections every 5 years and reserving 1/3 of seats for women.
- Panchayat Samitis at the block level implement development schemes related to agriculture, education, infrastructure, and industries. Their main sources of funding are state government grants and loans.
- The updated system strengthened the three-tier structure
The document discusses the history and evolution of the Panchayati Raj system in India from pre-independence times to the modern system established by the 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendments. Key events include the establishment of village republics advocated by Gandhi, various committee recommendations from 1959-1977, and the landmark amendments in 1992 that constitutionally established local self-governance through Gram Sabhas and three-tier Panchayati Raj institutions. The amendments aimed to decentralize governance and development planning to local communities.
Multi-level planning refers to the process of planning and decision-making across multiple levels of government, institutions, or organizations. In multi-level planning, there is a coordinated effort to ensure that plans, policies, and decisions are aligned across different levels to achieve shared goals and objectives.
Pakistan's planning process aims to reduce poverty through economic growth but has struggled with fiscal deficits and declining long-term growth. Strategic environmental assessment is not legally required but is being informally used to incorporate environmental concerns into economic policies and plans. The planning process involves formulation of long, medium, and short-term national plans by working groups consisting of government stakeholders. Projects are then developed and subjected to lengthy approval processes before implementation, but civil society engagement is limited. While regulations for environmental protection have been made, implementation and enforcement have been lax.

The document discusses the history and types of development plans in India. It notes that India's planning processes were adopted from British legislation, with early master plans focusing on spatial distribution of land uses. However, master plans were criticized for being ineffective due to issues like lack of funding and monitoring. The Development Plan for Bombay in 1964 was more detailed and effective but led to unplanned peripheral growth. The document outlines different types of development plans used in India, including comprehensive, zonal, regional, and local area plans, with comprehensive development plans aiming to create productive and equitable cities through consultation and infrastructure investment planning.
This document discusses laws related to urban development and master planning in Bangladesh. It notes that while Bangladesh practices planned development through master plans, the rules and regulations governing master plan preparation and implementation are outdated, incomplete, and inconsistent with current development needs. This leads to major issues with ensuring planned development through master plans. The document examines the statutes and authorities responsible for master planning. It finds that 12 statutes establish 12 authorities for master planning, but that the regulations have various gaps that need to be addressed to improve planned development in Bangladesh.
The document discusses the introduction of economic planning in India, including the early attempts at planning in the 1930s-1940s and the establishment of the Planning Commission in 1950. It outlines the objectives of economic planning such as increasing employment and self-sufficiency. It then discusses the importance of planning for best utilizing resources, income growth, improving living standards, and more balanced development. The document notes that the Planning Commission oversaw India's five-year plans until it was replaced by NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog aims to foster cooperative federalism and takes a three-year planning approach rather than five-year plans.

Urban and regional planning in India faces several issues and challenges. According to the document, planning is a joint responsibility of central and state governments, though land is a state subject, giving states a prominent role in implementation. The planning process involves preparation of state and regional perspective plans, district/metropolitan development plans, and master plans. Institutional issues include the need for statutory timeframes for plan formulation, implementation, and review. The document proposes amendments to state planning acts and restructuring planning institutions, and identifies major issues like lack of coordination, inadequate implementation and enforcement, and need for inclusive and integrated planning that addresses economic and environmental sustainability concerns.
The document summarizes a study on the role of gram panchayats in rural development in India, specifically focusing on Uttur village in Bagalkot district, Karnataka. It provides background on the importance of gram panchayats in rural development plans since independence. The study aims to evaluate rural development activities and identify problems faced by the Uttur gram panchayat. It finds that 261 beneficiaries participated in poverty alleviation programs over 5 years, with 129 from scheduled castes and tribes. The number of beneficiaries increased from 45 in 2001-02 to a peak of 76 in 2005-06.
This document summarizes the evolution of town planning laws and development in India, including key acts, guidelines, and issues. It discusses:
- The origins of town planning laws in 1920 and the influence of Sir Patrick Geddes in establishing improvement trusts and town planning acts.
- The 1962 Model Town and Regional Planning and Development Law that formed the basis for state town planning acts.
- The 1985 revised Model Regional and Town Planning and Development Law that many states have enacted town planning acts based on.
- Issues around compliance with the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act and emerging topics like inclusive planning and disaster management plans.
Regional planning deals with the efficient placement of land uses, infrastructure, and settlement growth across a larger area than an individual city or town. A region can be defined based on homogeneous physical characteristics or human activities within clearly defined boundaries. There are three main types of regions - formal, functional, and vernacular. Formal regions have official boundaries like states or districts, while functional regions are defined by economic interdependencies between places. Planning regions are used for comprehensive development and depend on the country's multi-level planning system, using generally administrative regions as planning units.
This document provides an overview of development planning in the Philippines. It discusses the history and legal basis for local development planning, defines key terms, and identifies the organizations responsible - namely the Local Development Council, Local Planning and Development Staff, and the Sanggunian. The ultimate goal of development planning is to optimize resource use and accelerate economic growth through participatory decision making at the local level.
The Eleventh Five Year Plan placed a strong emphasis on child rights. The government acknowledged that children in India continue to suffer from violence, neglect, and injustice, despite signing international charters on child rights. The plan aimed to improve conditions for children through initiatives like reducing malnutrition, infant mortality, and the gender gap in education. It recognized the need for a uniform definition of "child" and decentralized implementation through local governments and NGOs. The plan sought to ensure children's survival, participation, and development by identifying the most vulnerable children and customizing strategies for their needs.
The document outlines the objectives and key aspects of India's 12th Five Year Plan from 2012-2017, which include achieving an average annual GDP growth rate of 8.2%, increasing investment in infrastructure, health, education, and reducing poverty and income inequality. The Plan also aims to boost agriculture, manufacturing, energy, transportation, the environment, and decentralize decision making.
Gender budgeting in India has evolved over the past decade through various structures and mechanisms. Gender budgeting cells were established in 57 ministries and departments to integrate a gender perspective in budget allocations. Guidelines have been issued to central and state governments, and gender budget statements are now included in annual budgets. Capacity building efforts like training programs and a gender budgeting scheme help strengthen implementation. A working group is developing guidelines for gender auditing certain ministries as a pilot program. Looking ahead, the next phase will focus on aligning gender budgeting with India's 15-year vision plan and sustainable development goals through participatory local planning and improved monitoring of budget allocations and outcomes.
The document provides an overview of health care planning principles and processes in Pakistan. It discusses the following key points:
1) Planning aims to optimize the use of scarce resources and improve economic and social conditions through managing natural and human resources. Plans can be strategic, focusing on broad policies, or operational, focusing on specific programs and projects.
2) Pakistan established various planning bodies over time, including the Development Board (1948), Planning Board (1953), and Planning Commission (1958), to formulate national development plans and programs.
3) The main types of plans in Pakistan include annual plans, five-year plans, and long-term perspective plans covering 15-25 years. The annual plan implements the five-
MANAGEMENT OF SUB-DISTRICT ALLOCATION BUDGET IN IMPROVING COMMUNITY DEVELOPME...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT :This study aims to determine the process of managing the allocation of Sub-district Budget for
development and community empowerment as well as community involvement in managing the distribution of
Sub-district Allocation Budget for development and community empowerment in North Cakranegara,
Cakranegara District, Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara in 2020. This study uses a qualitative descriptive
approach. Data were obtained by conducting interviews with informants who can provide information related to
this research. The results showed that the management of sub-district fund allocations for the development and
empowerment of the North Cakranegara community in 2020 was not optimally implemented due to the
refocusing of the budget of covid-19. Meanwhile, community participation in managing Aub-district Allocation
Budget is optimal, starting from planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising.
KEYWORD: Sub-district, participation, management, sub-district allocation budget.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Conclusion
3. INTRODUCTION
Local Self-Governing Institutions in India has been playing a
Catalytic role in Planning and Implementation of Development
Programes and this has become more affirmative since the
implementation of 73rd amendment and PESAAct.
The provision of PESA Act enacted in 1996 emphasised the role of
Local Governments in Scheduled V Areas for Preparation of
Development Plans and Implementation of Development
Programmes.
The Act has been vested powers to Gram Sabhas in the matters of
Approval of Plans for Village Panchayats .While doing so, the Gram
Sabhas will consider the local resources, customs and traditions of
Tribal People.
However, despite all these provisions and presence of progressive
Legislation like PESA, Decentralised Planning in Tribal Areas of
Odisha have revealed weak Institutional Arrangements and capacity
gap of PRIs.
4. Continued…..
The Decentralised Planning Process which was taken up since 2008 in
Odisha has Emphasised the role of PRIs and in the case of Scheduled
Areas, the PRIs will have to provide more emphasis on involvement of
Gram Sabhas in the Process.
In the case of Sundargarh District, the Process of District Planning
which initiated in 2008 has resulted the preparation of Annual Plan and
Five year perspective plans.
However from the field observation and analysis of secondary data it is
observed that the process has reflected weak institutional arrangements
and huge gap in projection and allocation of funds for the District.
The present paper critically analyses such issues in keeping the
Provision of PESA and role of PRIs and Gram Sabhas in Local
Development Planning.
The Paper provides a Set of Policy Recommendations which needs to
be taken into consideration in keeping the PESA in Mind.
5. Local Governments and Decentralised Planning in India
-From Theory to Practice
Planning in India since the 1st Five year period has been viewed as
Top-Down in nature, which provided more weightage to Central
Government and State Governments while Formulating Plans.
However, Decentralised Planning has always been argued as
realistic and pragmatic in nature which is based on “effective
utilization of Local Resources and Local wisdom”.
It is argued that involvement of Local People and Local Institutions
leads efficient utilization of resources which ensure equitable
sharing of Benefits from Developments.
Assertion in the favour of Decentralised Planning is based on
Following arguments;
1. Through Decentralised Plans participation of people can Ensure.
2. Need based and area specific plans can bridge regional disparities.
6. Continued…..
3. Improves effectiveness in implementing Development Programmes.
4. Creates scope for equitable participation and benefit sharing.
Involving Local Governments in Planning Evolved Gradually during
different period of time in which Planning Commission also
emphasized for the Formulation of Such Plans.
From Fourth Five Year Plan Onwards, there was a Focused to make
Planning as participatory by involving Local Governments which in
different period of time emerged as a key policy decisions.
The 73rd Constitution Amendment Act further created a space for
Decentralised Planning which also advocated planning as a bottom-up
process.
Implementation of Provisions of Panchayats(Extension to Scheduled
Areas) Act in 1996 also specified the role of Gram Panchayats and
Gram Sabhas in preparation of Plans for the Scheduled Areas.
District Planning Committees(DPCs) have been constituted in Different
Districts to Prepare and approve Districts Development Plans.
7. Planning in Scheduled Areas and Role of PESA
Planning For Scheduled Areas(Areas Comes under Article 274 (I)
and (II) was also initiated during different Five Year Plan periods in
India.
During the First and Second Five Year Plan period approaches like
Special Multipurpose Tribals(SMPT) and Tribal Development(TD)
Blocks were adopted to streamline Planning in Scheduled Areas.
During the Fifth Five Year Plan period(1974-1975), the Tribal Sub-
Plan strategy came which Focused Planning and Implementation of
Special Development programs in Tribal Areas.
However, adoption of TSP Strategy argued as bureaucratic in nature
which left no space for involving Local Governments in Planning
and Implementation of Development Programs.
Implementation of PESA Act in 1996 has been focused on the
Planning in Scheduled Areas as per the followings;
8. Continued…..
1. Prepare Plans for Economic Development
2. Approve such Plans by suggesting optimal utilization of
Natural Resources.
3. Control over Natural Resources
4. Ownership on Tribal Sub-plans
However, state specific experiences shows that scant attention
have been given to PRIs while Planning for Economic
Developments.
Even in the States like Odisha, Gram Sabhas and Gram
Panchayats in Scheduled are not given any space in Planning
and implementation development programs under TSP.

However, the recommendation of

Paved the way for the Formulation
of Block and District Level Plans.
The Orissa Gram
Panchayats Act of
1948,1964 and 1968
emphasized the
importance of
Decentralised Planning.
However no efforts
were made to involve
PRIs in Planning
Process.
In Scheduled Areas under
Article 274(I) and (II), no
specific Focus was Given
for Formulation of Special
Plans For these areas.
However emphasis was
made to bring Tribal
Development Issues into
Limelight.
1957-1971 Planning Commission Focused on
Formulation of District Plans and
accordingly issued guidelines to all
the States for formulation of
District Plans. Tibal Sub-Plan
Strategy also adopted during 5th
Five Year plan Period.
In the Case of Odisha,
the Orissa Gram
Panchayats Acts
provided space for Palli
Sabhas/Gram Sabhas
for Planning.
Tribal Sub-Plan Strategy
focused on the formulation
of sectoral plans at the
Block Level. However, no
emphasis was made to

14. Major Findings
Findings Implications
Planning Vs. Implementation:
The Issue of Funds
It is observed that there is a huge Gap in between
Projection and Allocation of Funds for undertaking
Development Programs.
Issue of Convergence Convergence Plan was largely missing in the whole
process which reflected the coordination Gap
between different Line Departments.
Departmental Plan Vs. District
Plan
Plan developed by different departments like Health
under NRHM and Education under SSA carried out
paralally which undermines the spirit of District Plan.
PESA and Institutionalization
of PRIs
Institutionalization of PRIs as per the mandate of
PESA Act not taken seriously as result of which
serious Tribal Development issues were not
reflected either at Gram Sabhas or Gram
Panchayats.
District Resource Envelope:
Unrealistic and based on
Guess work
District Resource Envelope prepared for the District
was based on unrealistic calculation of Resources.
Existing natural resources were not taken into
consideration while doing so.
15. Continued…..
Findings Implications
Macro-Perception Vs. Micro-
Expectation
The Planning Process was witnessed contestation
between Macro-Perception vs. Micro-Expectation
as far as Prioritization of issues are concerned.
While in one side there was issues like a Medical
College or better road connectivity while in other
side there was demand for more allocation for
IAYs or Pensions.
Gram Sabha: A weak
Institution
In the whole process, it was revealed that Gram
Sabhas in the District not playing any pro-active
role except to perform certain rituals. Peoples
aspiration reflected through Gram Sabhas based
on certain Schemes.
Capacity Gap and Poor
Infrastructure of PRIs
Weak Infrastructure Gap of PRIs and poor Data
Management System was reflected in the whole
process.
Scant Attention on Tribal
Customs, Traditions and
Cultures
No plans relating to Tribal People’s customs,
traditions or customs were reflected in the
Planning Process. Issues related to Mining,
Industrialisation, Land alienation, Illicit Liquor were
not reflected in the Planning Process.
16. Continued…..
Findings Implications
DPC-A Sign Board Institution From the analysis of Data It was revealed
that Functioning of DPC in the District
Confined with more or less approve the
plans without considering the ground
reality. Huge capacity Gap and Political
interference restricted the Functioning of
DPC in the District.
Bureaucratic Control and Presence Of Elite Planning Process in all the Stages staring
from Village to District was controlled by
District level Officials. Political interference
and selection of Projects and beneficiaries
were based on Political facilitation.
Poor Data Management System and
Inadequate Staff
Poor data management system, weak
infrastructure and manpower shortage were
another challenges which faced by the PRIs
while doing this task.
17. Suggestions
Adequate Fiscal Devolution and Devolution of Funds should be done by
the State Government to effectively implement the Planned Activities.
Implementation of Development Programmes by different Line
Departments should be done by PRIs and the Planning Process should be
done by Gram Sabhas.
Resource mapping should be done by the respective Gram Panchayats to
enhance control and access over natural resources for optimal utilization
of such resources.
Departmental Plans like Plans for SSA,NRHM,RKVY etc should not done
Paralally and there should be focus on recommendations of Gram Sabha
in this regard.
Planning for the Development of Scheduled Tribes under TSP should be
done as per the mandate of PESA Act. Implementation of TSP Funds
should be channelized through PRIs.
Customs ,Cultures and Traditions of Tribal People should be taken into
consideration while formulating Plans.
District Resource Envelope should include all the available resources
including human resources. It should be realistic and based on scientific
calculation of actual value.
18. Continued…..
Issue of Convergence should be taken seriously and convergence
plan should be followed in letter and spirit.
Mechanism should be devised to bridge the gap between Macro-
Perception and Micro-expectation. Tribal people’s expectation
linked with Livelihoods should be given focus instead of
throwing the ideas from upper level.
Functioning of District Planning Committees(DPCs) should be
further examined in considering the emerging development
needs. Specific functions of DPCs functioning in scheduled areas
should be framed in keeping the issues of Tribal Development
and PESA in Mind.
Gram Panchayats should take whole responsibility in Developing
Planning for the respective GPs in close coordination with Gram
Sabhas. Issues like Elite’s Capture and Bureaucratic control
should be taken into consideration.
19. Continued…..
Capacity Building of PRIs Staffs along with adequate
infrastructure facility should be taken into consideration in
keeping the importance of Planning Process.
Planning process in Scheduled areas needs a fresh policy review
in keeping the current pace of Globalization in Mind.
Involvement of all the Stakeholders including Government,
Semi-Government and Private should be made mandatory.
Implementation of Plans should be based on Prioroty fixed by
Gram Sabhas and no sort of dilution should be allowed.
