Report on Organisation of Administrative and Financial Structure for Backward Areas Development National Committee on the Development of Backward Areas

Abstract

The existing Technical Cells which have already grown during the Fifth Plan for strengthening the planning machinery at State level should provide necessary technical and secretarial support. In the case of such states as have not so far set up those cells, steps should be taken to set them up immediately. There should be a separate unit in the Department responsible for plan implementation to monitor and analyse variations in the levels of development in backward areas in the State and act as a "nodal" point for integration of backward area plans in the State Plan.
