    Schemes Administered by Department of Planning

The Department of Planning is discharging the functions as Administrative Department mainly in respect of the following schemes under the Head “Secretariat Economic Services” and District Plan:-

  • Centrally Sponsored Schemes

    Border Area Development Programme

    The Punjab State Planning Board (PSPB) oversees the implementation of Border Area Development Programme in the four Border districts of Amritsar, Tarn Taran, Gurdaspur and Ferozepur for which 100% Special Central Assistance is received from the Govt. of India.  The programme aims at meeting the special needs of the people living in  remote/inaccessible areas situated near the border.

    Backward Regions Grant Fund (Previously Named RSVY)

    Planning Commission has launched a new initiative for Backward districts under BRGF. District Hoshiarpur has been selected for this programme. The Department of Rural Development and Panchayats is acting as a nodal department for the implementation of BRGF.

  • State Funded Schemes

    Decentralised Planning

    In order to achieve optimum utilization of meager resources and also to ensure peoples' participation at the grass root level, the concept of decentralized planning was  introduced in the State a way back in the 1984-85. Accordingly the District Planning and Development Boards were set up in Punjab in 1987. But the actual work of district planning was started in the year 1990-91, when the schemes and programmes of concerned Administrative Departments, which could be better implemented, supervised and coordinated at the district level were decentralised. Accordingly, the District Planning and Development Board headed by a Cabinet Minister/State Minister as Chairman/Vice Chairman have been constituted at the district level to supervise/monitor the work of district planning. All sitting MLAs of the districts, Chairman Zila Parishad, 12 non-official members including one ex-serviceman, one sarpanch or samiti member or Zila Parishad member from the Block, mayor of Municipal Corporations and one or two presidents of class ‘B’ and  ‘C’  Municipal Councils have been nominated as members of the Board. These Boards have full power to efficiently and cost effectively implement the district level schemes and also identify areas and groups of people, which needs special attention for equitable socio-economic growth.  In compliance with the Clause-243ZD of the 74th constitutional Amendment, 1992, District Planning Committees are mandatory to be constituted in each State of the Country for the purpose of preparing a Draft Development Plan at the grass root level.  The Punjab District Planning Committees Bill, 2005 has been enacted in 2005. Punjab District Planning Committees Procedure of Transaction of Business Rules, 2006 have also been notified. The detailed guidelines for holding elections for electing 4/5th members of the District Planning Committees from amongst the members of Zila Parishads and Urban Local Bodies have been circulated to all the districts. Elections of 4/5th members of DPCs have already been completed in 12 Districts and are under process in the remaining Districts. DPCs will be constitued after the nomination of chairpersons and 1/5th members of DPCs by the State Government. Funds under the District Plan Schemes presently being released through the District Planning & Development Boards would be released through the District Planning Committees after their consitution.

    Constitution of District Planning Committees

    The District Planning Committees have been reconstituted vide Notification dated 25/08/2009.

    Assistance to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO)

    The Department of Planning allocates funds to various Administrative Departments like Health, Social Security and Welfare, Welfare of SCs & BCs, Education,, Animal Husbandry etc. for providing assistance to Mother NGO-SOSVA(N) and other field NGOs which are engaged in improving the lot of people of the State.

    Assistance to Research Institutions

    The Department of Planning provides grant-in-aid to Research Institutes like Centre for Research in Rural and Industrial Development (CRRID) & Institute for Development and Communication(IDC) to promote research activities in the State.  A sum of Rs.5.00 Cr, each stands released to CRRID and IDC for creation of Corpus Fund.  During 2008-09, the Planning Department has provided Rs.24.75 lac on the non-plan side to CRRID as matching grant with Indian Council of Social Science Research(ICSSR).

    Punjab Nirman Programme

    The State Govt. decided to launch a special project namely ‘Punjab Nirman Programme’ for improving the living conditions of people of Punjab living in rural and urban areas and to address their felt developmental needs more effectively at the grass root level in consultation with the local area representatives during 2005-06. The process of re-allocation of funds between the Departments and from one scheme to another being complicated and time consuming, it has been decided to provide the funds at the District level for expeditious identification, and execution of essential works relating to different Departments. This will not only expedite the fulfillment of the felt needs of the people but will also ensure the participation of the elected representatives of the people at grass-root level and encourage decentralisation and delegation, in the Planning process. This programme does not intend to replace ongoing schemes of various Departments which will go on unabated. Works under this programme will complement and supplement the regular schemes of the Departments and will help expediting their implementation.

Punjab State Planning Board

  • Introduction

    With the growing multiplicity of Governmental functions and increasing size of the developmental plans, It was essential that resources were utilized in the most productive manner, whether in economic or social terms.  A review of the economic development in the last two decades revealed grave growth distortions and sectoral as well as area imbalance. Planning had been the part-time activity of a Government Department. The absence of an adequately equipped Apex Planning Body in the State had led to the deterioration of developmental strategy into a mere aggregation of developmental thinking in which projects and programmes were prepared by concerned Departments, and the Planning Department had occupied itself with the pruning of their proposals to fit into the overall size of the State Plan.

    The Punjab State Planning Board(PSPB) was created vide State Govt. Notification dated 27.9.1972 after a decision taken by the Punjab Government on 13.9.1972.  The creation of Punjab State Planning Board was done on the recommendation of the Planning Commission with a view to have an apex Planning Body consisting of subject matter specialists and technical experts in the form of a Board or a Commission to strengthen the departmental machinery responsible for the formulation of development plans in the State. 

    The State Government has issued Notifications from time to time regarding constitution of the Punjab State Planning Board.The State Planning Board functions as Advisory Body and makes recommendations to the State Government. The Punjab State Planning Board functions as the Department of Planning at the Secretariat level and issues advice to other Administrative Departments of the State Government. The Punjab State Planning Board was created with a view to attract central assistance in the form of normal central assistance, additional central assistance, special central assistance etc. for plan programmes of the State from the Planning Commission, Government of India and the staff posted in the State Planning Board is doing this work as an administrative department at Secretariat level .

  • Activities

(i)      Formulation of Plans

                   The main activity of the Punjab State Planning Board(PSPB) is formulation of Annual Plans as well as Five Year Plans on the basis of guidelines issued every year by the Planning Commission. The work for the formulation of development plan proposals is initiated in the months of September-November by holding bilateral discussions with the various Administrative Departments of the State Government. The motive of these discussions is to prioritize the development activities and to assess the need based demands of the departments to implement the plan programmes in the State. On the basis of these discussions and also keeping in view the availability of resources provided by the Department of Finance, a consolidated plan is placed before the Members of the Punjab State Planning Board, so that consolidated proposals may be put up to the State Government for approval. After approval of the State Government, the draft document is to be submitted in the Planning Commission for Working Group Discussions. Keeping in view the suggestions/recommendations of the Planning Commission made in the Working Group Discussions and also the agreed size in the meeting held between the Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission and the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Punjab, a final plan document  is prepared by the Department of Planning and same is placed in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha alongwith the Budget document.

          From the very beginning of the economic development planning in the State, the main activity of PSPB is the clearance of Plan schemes of various Administrative Departments implemented in the State every year. But now in line with the changed economic scenario, the role of the PSPB has been vitalized. From the only work of clearance of Plan schemes subject to the budgeted outlay during the course of the year, PSPB has gradually moved towards the actual implementation and monitoring of plan. The PSPB is concerned with the downsizing of the need based plan to resource specific plan in the form of core plan even shadow plan.  Besides this, in order to ensure the balance between the State share and Central share of funds, all the CSS are also cleared by the Department of Planning.
