PlanPlus (http://planningonline.gov.in) A tool for Decentralized and Integrated District Planning 1
Planning currently done in silos (scheme-based) TFC BRGF Funding May not match with the local Own needs (not demand driven) NREGS Funds Gram Panchayat Convergence of funds not happening. Ineffective Utilization of funds Lack of collaboration among planning units – Resulting in duplication and ineffective planning Plans TFC BRGF NREGS Plan Plan Plan Planning – As Is
Facilitates the Decentralized Planning process in Local Language by ◦ Supporting Need Based Planning rather than Scheme-based planning ◦ Facilitating convergence of funds from different central and state sponsored schemes to address the needs of the people ◦ Facilitating integration of plans prepared by various planning units into a single district plan document ◦ Facilitating segregation of Scheme and Sectoral Plans ◦ Helping in monitoring the execution of the plan ◦ Generating various graphs for analysis and decision support ◦ Helping in the preparation of Perspective Plans and deriving the annual draft and action plans from perspective plans Objective

Planning Using PlanPlus
Requirement Section Stakeholder – Planning Unit PlanPlus captures Information on Wish List, Works(location, proposed cost, proposed duration, asset/beneficiary/output) and Projects
PlanPlus captures the needs identified through SWOT analysis/Gram Sabha/Ward Sabha or even by individual citizen. These suggestions are forwarded to the planning units The planning units can decide if there is a need to take up the suggested need as a work in any of the Plans Suggestion Box National Informatics Centre
Suggestions from Citizens
Suggestion from a Planning Unit
PlanPlus allows each State to define categories of works Egs. Include Construction of CC Road, Laying of water pipeline etc. Each work category is associated with a specific work focus area such as roads, drinking water etc. Each work category is mapped to specific outputs Work Category

Mapping of Work Category with Assets National Informatics Centre
Planning Process begins with the structuring of unstructured wish-list into structured works by each Planning Unit Work Details include among other parameters the following: ◦ Work For - Whether the work is for specific section of the population such as SC, ST, Women etc. This will help is drawing the SC sub-Plan, Tribal sub plan and Gender plan etc. ◦ Work Focus Area – What is the focus area of the work? The list includes the 29 and 18 functions allocated to Panchayats and urban local bodies under the Constitution. This will help in generating the sectoral plan ◦ Project Name – Links the work to a Project ◦ Needs to be fulfilled – Links the work to suggestion(s) Works
Expenditure Details – Captures the duration, total cost and year-wise break-up of cost and the output to be generated 4 broad categories of outputs are captured – Asset, Training, Staff Augmentation and Others

A project is a logical collection of related works, possibly belonging to different sectors A project may have two or more works It is not mandatory for every work to be included in a project Helps in bringing about sectoral integration and ensures maximum impact of the interventions in different sectors Project National Informatics Centre

Sources of Funding Stakeholder – Central Govt./State Govt. / Local Govt. Captures Information about Resource Envelope Available with Planning Unit
Stakeholder ◦ Central Government Departments (CSSs, ACAs etc.) ◦ State Government Departments (state government schemes) Sources of Funding
The software captures details about various Sources of Funding in the form of Centrally Sponsored Schemes/State Government Schemes Details include inter-alia, ◦ Scheme Active Period ◦ Geographical Coverage ◦ Target Group ◦ Component Focus ◦ Component Funding Pattern (State-wise and year-wise) ◦ Permissible/Non Permissible Activities Scheme Definition

Resource Envelope Stakeholder – State Govt. Captures Information about Resource Envelope Available with Planning Unit
Plan-unit wise resource envelope can be defined for each Source of Funding Resource envelope corresponds to Allocation under various Central and State Government Schemes (Perspective, Expected and Actual budgetary Allocation) Plan unit’s own funds through taxation and various services Resource Envelope
Own Funds BRGF NREGS TFC Central State Own Parastatal Govt. Govt. Funds PSUs State Line Bodies • NREGS • SFC • Tax Department Revenues • BRGF • Grants-in- aid • Non-tax • TFC revenues Grants • Assigned Revenues • Service Delivery Funding Sources Funding Sources

A plan would consist of one or more works. PlanPlus automatically includes all works which have been created for the Plan Year. In addition, it also includes spill-over, on- going and resumed works from previous years’ plans in the current Plan. Based on the sector of the work and that of the component, the software automatically shows the amount of expected allocation under different components of different schemes. The Planning unit can allocate funds from different schemes/components to different works One work may be funded by more than one Source of Funding, thereby converging the funds from different funding sources If any permissible activity is defined under a component, then the planner will have to indicate the activity of the component under which the work is being undertaken. Planning
Works may be included or excluded from the plan as per availability of funds. However, works which are on-going or spill-over cannot be excluded. Works funding can be shared by multiple Planning Units Priority can be set for each work; fund availability is automatically re- calculated A Planning unit has to answer defined Process Checklist based on scheme components from funds are proposed to be taken up The software also informs the planner about fund availability under different schemes under different sectors thereby ensuring maximum utilization of funds Planning (contd.)
