Question

Decentralized planning in india promoted in which five year plan in brainly

Answer 1

The Administrative Reforms Commission (1966-70), appointed during the Third Five Year Plan period, came out with its report that criticised the highly centralised character of Indian Planning and advocated the strengthening of the machinery for planning at the state and district levels. It explained a methodology of preparing a State Plan for rural development on the basis of the District and Block Plans. Attempts were also made to develop the three-tier Panchayati Raj system based on the recommendations of the Balwant Rai Mehta Committee and with it the idea of ‘planning from below’ gained some currency, but was not very effective. The Planning Commission made special efforts to promote district planning by issuing guidelines for the formulation of District Plans in 1969.
