1. Development
Plan

2. NAXALISM
• PM says- The most dangerous security India ever
faced
• 180 districts across 9 states
• Has assumed a shape beyond a normal law and order
problem
• Forms vicious cycle of
poverty,unawareness,Exploitation,Insecurity,poor
development,corruption,Backwardness and conflicts
among various classes of society

3. Naxalislm- three distinct stages
I.Naxalism-initial stage
-Atrocities on downtrodden and exploitation of
socially and economically backward people
-Agitation against opperessors through violent methods
II.Naxalism-Rapid growth with mass support
-spread to various regions were explotation was visible

4. Naxalism-stages -contd…-
affected people openly supported the movement.
-Low intensity violence and no indiscriminate violence
III.Naxalism-rapid growth without mass support
-spread new and non traditional areas like dense
forested hilly terrains,economically important areas
mining belts forcefully
-compelling public to support through fear pshycosis

5. Failure of present Naxalism
tackling approaches
Lack of proper coordination between security
operation and developmental approaches
No distinct approaches t0 different areas like Most
affected, medium affected and less affected areas
General neglegience of area in all points of view like
personnel and infrastructure wise.

6. Fear pschycosis-strategy of Naxals
The fear pschycosis-base of the success of naxalism
Punishing the people who opposes their ideology
through Jan Adalat
Saranda is the most affected place in Jharkhand
Over a hundred police personnel have been killed in
the last 10 years.

7. Target the most critical
corridor(MCC) of the naxal affected
areas
Wiping out the fear pshycosis
The most strongest presence of naxals felt in saranda
Forbidden place for government machinaries

implementation of the schemes in a secured and safe
atmosphere
