Explanation:

Every state shall constitute at the district level, a district planning committee to consolidate the plans prepared by panchayats and municipalities in the district, and to prepare a draft development plan for the district as a whole.
The act lays down that four-fifths of the members of a district planning committee should be elected by the elected members of the district panchayat and municipalities in the district from amongst themselves.
The chairperson of such committee shall forward the development plan to the state government. Hence,DPC forwards its plan directly to the state government rather than submitting to MPC.
