PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION

INTRODUCTION• 8th Five Year Plan commenced on 1992 and carried

on till 1997. The basic objective of this period was the modernization of industrial sector. This plan focused on technical development.

• Through this plan the reduction of deficit and foreign debt was aimed at. The rectification of certain flawed plans and policies were also done under this five year plan. During this period only India received a coveted opportunity to become a member of the World Trade Organization on January 1st 1995.

Feature of plan

This Plan has some features, which distinguish it from other plans and which, in my view, form its essence.

Those features are: This Plan is indicative in nature. It concentrates on building a long-term

strategic vision of the future and sets forth the priorities of the nation. While for the public sector, the Plan goes into the details examining the alternatives and identifying the specific projects in various sectors, for the rest of the economy it works out sectoral targets and tends to provide promotional stimulus to the economy to grow in the desired direction.

The Plan recognises "human development" as the core of all developmental effort. It is only healthy and educated people who can contribute to economic growth and this growth, in turn, will contribute to human well being. The priority sectors of the Plan that contribute towards realisation of this goal are health, education, literacy and basic needs, including drinking water, housing and welfare programmes for the weaker sections. In the Eighth Plan, Governments at the Centre and in the States will expand their role in this sphere.

TARGETS

-human development will be the main focus- policies and programmes relating to child

survival and development will receive high priority

SOCIAL WELFARE:- • Strategy for Eighth Plan:-

• Since human development will be the main focus of the Eighth Plan, policies and programmes relating to child survival and development will receive high priority. While it is true that successful implementation of programmes of poverty alleviation, reforms in existing social and economic structures, institutional changes and female education will help in raising the standard of living of the under-privileged segments of society and have a favourable impact on child survival and development, specific programmes and services directed at children will also be necessary.

Human resource development plays a critical role in the socio-economic development of a country. It is an investment towards improving the quality of human life. Although development brings economic gains to society in general, specific measures become necessary to ensure that they reach the disadvantaged and the weaker sections of the population such as women, children, the disabled, the elderly, and the destitute. The welfare and development of these weaker sections of the society largely depend upon suitable policy directions executed through appropriate programmes and strategies

PLAN IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION:-

• The success of a Plan lies in the effectiveness with which the projects and programmes are executed and the efficiency and productivity levels at which various enterprises operate. The nature and problems of implementation of large investment projects, which are mostly in the infrastructure and industry sector, differ from those of development programmes which are mostly in the field of agriculture, rural development and other social sectors. While sector-specific implementation problems are broadly covered in the respective chapters, the focus in this Chapter is on some of the common and general steps to be taken to improve efficiency in the process of formulation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects and programmes.

EVALUCTION:-Feed-back through evaluation results is an important requirement for assessing the performance, comparing the intended with the actual operations and using this information to guide the future line of action.

The role of evaluation during the Eighth Plan will be more challenging. Development during the Eighth Plan will largely be achieved by a process which entails " operation by the people and cooperation by the Government' in the formulation and implementation of the Plans and the programmes through a system of open and democratic decision- making.
