People involvement in Planning process at the Grassroot level makes the implementation effectiveness by making the government machinaries accountable

1. FORMULATING DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS WITH PEOPLE’S
PARTICIPATION
By Shyam Rathod

2. ABOUT PARTICIPATION
 Participation- people are closely involved in
economic, social and political process that affects
their lives.
 Participation is a process by which the beneficiaries
influence the development programmes to enhance
prosperity in terms of income, personal growth, self
reliance or other values they cherish.

3. CONSTITUTION PROVISIONS FOR
DEVELOPMENT

Inc the national income equitable distribution of National
Income
among members.
 73rd Amendment- have same goals
To prepare plans for economic development Implement schemes of
With social justice dev and social justice as
may
entrusted to them
 10th Five year plan specifies to promote PI’s

4. DEVELOPMENT STATUS WITHOUT PEOPLE’S
PARTICIPATION
 Non participatory bureaucratic approach
and non- involvement of people in the state
makes- people will be in depending
situation.
 There will be no development unless the
people are involved in planning and
controlling the development process.
 Solution: Only decentralisation can give
direct participation of people.
 Local Planning can make centralised to
decentralised.

5. HOW WE CAN ENSURE PEOPLE’S
PARTICIPATION
 By Involving NGO’s, local government
leaders, Administrative officers to mobilise
people in the village. Ex: Mumbai Metro
Plan, Hubli-Dharwad renovation
 By giving them sole authority to design their
own plans to solve problems which are
major concern.
 A workshop can be conducted for making
people aware of planning process and
empower them to be ready in development
planning..

7. DEVELOPMENT PLANNING THROUGH PP

Involves 3 Key Aspects:
1. Problem Identification

9. WHAT DOES DEVELOPMENT PLAN ACHIEVE
THROUGH PP
 Achieves higher level of Transparency and
Accountability.
 Project Implementation will be Rapid or Effectively.
 There will be quality in the Implementation.
 People’s sense of belongingness towards the
project will be achieved.
 It can eradicate the malpractices
 The beneficiaries will become vigilant about the
quality of work.

10. HOW WE CAN MAKE SUSTAINABLE
 Project structures need to change to allow for flexible,
long-term engagement. Patience is a virtue.
 Project designs and impact evaluations need to be
informed by political and social analyses, in addition to
economic analysis.
 Monitoring and evaluation needs to be taken far more
seriously. The use of new, more cost-effective
information and communications technology (ICT)-
based tools, could help enormously.
 Clear systems of facilitator feedback as well as
participatory monitoring and redress systems need to be
created.
 Most important, there needs to be room for honest
feedback to facilitate learning, instead of a tendency to
rush to judgment coupled with a fear of failure.
