Twenty-Point ProgrAmme
MPLADS
In recent years, many criticisms of the scheme came to the public notice, which concerned either misappropriation of the funds or non-use of the funds, especially from the backward states. The people’s representative at the PRI level have been demanding scrapping of the scheme as it infringes the idea of decentralised planning. In it’s place, they want the funds to be given to the local bodies directly for the same kind of works specified by the MPLADS.
In May 2014, MOSPI issued the revised guidelines for the scheme which is simple, clear and understandable to all concerned. The fine points of the guidelines are as given below: - It provides not only the list of prohibited items under the scheme, but also that of permissible items. - In order to encourage trusts and societies to work for the betterment of tribal people, the ceiling of Rs. 50 lakh, stipulated forbuilding assets by trusts and societies in areas occupied by tribals, has been enhanced to Rs. 75 lakh. - Further, to promote cooperative movement and rural development, the Cooperative Societies have also been made eligible under the MPLAD Scheme. -The abandoned or suspended MPLAD work to be completed by the states. -Natural and man-made calamities can also be allocated funds under it. - Now the funds can be allocated by a MP outside of Constituency/State/UTs, too. -It can converge with the other approved Central (like MGNAREGA) and State Government schemes. -Funds from local bodies can be pooled with MPLADS works. -Public and community contribution is made permissible in the scheme. -‘One MP–One Idea’, an annual competition for best innovation in solving local problems. -A proper mechanism for its implementation and auditing have also been put in place.
To provide MPs a greater choice under the scheme, the list of indicative and illustrative shelf of projects has been expanded touching the fields of infrastructure development, drinking water, education, roads, health, sanitation, natural calamity, etc. The scheme has been given more dynamism and flexibility.
MultI-Level Planning It was by the late 1950s and early 1960s that the states demanded the right to plan at the state level. By the mid-1960s, the states were given the power to plan by the Centre, advising them that they should promote planning at the lower levels of the administrative strata, too, i.e., at the district level planning—via the municipalities and corporations in the urban areas and via block level through panchayats and the tribal boards. By the early 1980s, India was a country of multi-level planning (MLP) with the structure and strata of planning as follows:
first strAtA: centre-level PlAnning At this level three types of Central Plans had evolved over the years—the Five Year Plans, the Twenty-Point Programme and the MPLADS.
Second strAtA: State-level Planning By the 1960s, the states were planning at the state level with their respective planning bodies, the state Planning Boards with the respective CMs being their de-facto Chairman. The plans of the states were for a term of five years and parallel to the concerned Five Year Plans of the Centre.
Third Strata: District-level PlAnning By the late 1960s all the districts of the states were having their own plans with their respective District Planning Boards89 with the respective District Magistrate being the de-facto chairman. The district-level plans are implemented now via municipalities or corporations in the urban areas and the panchayats via the blocks in the rural areas.
Fourth strata: block-level PlAnning As a part of the district-level planning the block level planning came up which had the District Planning Boards as their nodal body. Below the blocks, India developed the planning at the local level, too.
Fifth strata: local level planning By the early 1980s, plans were being implemented at the local level via the blocks and had the District Planning Boards (DPBs) as the nodal agency. Due to socio-economic differentiations among the population, local-level planning in India developed with its three variants,90 namely: (i) Village-Level Planning (ii) Hill Area Planning (iii) Tribal Area Planning
