OBJECTIVES To strengthen and mobilize the effort

and resources of the nation in support of the plan

to promote common economic policies in all vital spheres,

and to ensure the balanced and rapid development of all parts of country.

CONT…. objective was not just growth, but

inclusive growth. This means a growth which would bring tangible benefits to the weaker sections, the SC/ST, minorities and other excluded groups.

some assessment of our success in achieving inclusiveness is possible using other measures. One aspect of inclusiveness is the growth performance of individual States.

FUNCTIONS To prescribe guideline for the

formulation of the national plan, including the assessment of resources for the plan;

To consider the national plan as formulated by the planning commission;

To consider important questions of the social and economic policy affecting national development;

CONTD….. And to review the working of the plan

from time to time and to recommend such measures as are necessary for achieving the aim and targets set out in the national plan.

The prime function of the council is to act as a kind of bridge between the union government, the planning commission and the state governments.

It helps in the coordination not only of policies and programmes of plans but also other matters of national importance.

It provides the good forum for the discussion and full and free exchange of views. There is no other comparative forum.

COMPOSITION There have been occasions when the

reserve bank governor and other experts have been invited to address the meetings.

The large membership of the council, which at one time rose to 50,reduced the utility of the council for discussion as a compact body and in November 1954 a standard committee was established with only nine chief ministers and a few union ministers as members.

CONT….. In addition, the council has been

appointing committees from time to time for a detailed examination of certain problems.

The council ordinarily meets twice a year.

It is interesting to note that the council ordinarily passes no resolution formally.

CONT….. The practice is to have a complete

record of discussion and gather out of its general trends

pinpointing particular conclusions. Decisions are usually unanimous.
