Draft Plan at Mandal Parishad Level: At the Mandal level, the Mandal Parishad shall consolidate all the Gram Panchayat Plans and based on the suggestions received from Gram Panchayat and its own priorities the Mandal Parishad shall finalize its own Plan.

Thrust areas : The draft plan proposals of each PRI/ULB, shall be in accordance with the goals set in the district vision document for various sectors. 22. Resources for Plan: The plan will integrate multiple programmes that are in operation in the district concerned and therefore address backwardness through a combination of resources that flow in to the district. While preparing the draft plan in accordance with guidelines stated above, the concerned PRI / ULB will take into account the district component of the departmental plans as also the Centrally Sponsored Schemes and the Externally Aided Projects that have been assigned to it for implementation. In addition, the physical integration of the District Plan with the elements of the State Plan that are being implemented in the geographical area of the district would need to be given close attention. The resources and outlays in respect of these items of State Plan located in the district (but not implemented through the local bodies) would not, however, be included in the Plan Resources and outlays of the Local Bodies. More specifically, the funds under the flagship programs 1. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan 2.)National Rural Health Mission 3) Integrated Child Development Services 4) Total Sanitation Campaign 5) Mid Day Meals 6) Drinking water and Sanitation Mission 7) NREGA and 8) JNNURM schemes and funds under other major schemes like Bharat Nirman, ARWS, RGGVY, PMGSY shall invariably be brought into the fold of District Plan and a clear matching of these funds with the prioritized felt needs is to brought out in the plan.
The PRI/ULB component of the District Plan would emerge out of the following sources of funds:- a. Own resources available for development b. State Finance Commission grants c. Twelfth Finance Commission grants d. BRGF funds and any other untied funds e. Grants in respect of Centrally Sponsored Schemes. f. Grants for State Plan schemes assigned for implementation through PRIs/ULBs g. Grants for Externally supported schemes assigned for implementation through Local Governments. h. Estimated contribution by the communities themselves.
A separate sub plan for SC/STs shall be prepared with in the plan of each Panchayat/ULB showing the scheme wise allocations for SC/STs Schemes benefiting SC/STs should be allocated funds atleast in proportion of the population of these communities in the jurisdiction for which the plan has been prepared Amenities such as schools, Anganwadi, health sub centers etc. should be provided on priority in those villages that have a substantial SC/ST population. The women should also be given due weightage in the preparation of the District Plan. The women component of the plan may be separately shown as gender plan. Disaster Management Plans: The Disaster Management plans may also be prepared for the districts and integrated with the district plan. Strict time lines have to be adhered to for preparation of Plans and submit them to the High Power Committee headed by the Chief Secretary of the State. The District Collectors are requested to adhere to these dates scrupulously. The time lines worked out are annexed. The district collectors may ensure that the plans reach the High Power Committee by 20-04-2008 without fail. For supervision, management and monitoring of the programme, the Standing committees constituted within such bodies under legal provision may be strengthened. For BRGF Districts the planning process continues to be the same but they will be getting special central assistance as grant towards: Capacity building of Panchayats/ULBs enabling preparation of plans for economic development and social justice and Meet the critical gaps in the infrastructure like Construction of gram Panchayat buildings, Anganwadi Centers, health sub centers, etc., It is however emphasized that BRGF is only to fill the critical gaps and to be supplemented only when there is no alternative to it to undertake the work that is prioritized out of the felt needs of people. 26. Allocation and apportionment of BRGF Funds: Following districts are covered under BRGF:
From out of the allocated funds under BRGF to the State, 5% of the funds may be retained at the State level to support AMR-APARD for supporting the special cell created for coordination and monitoring the preparation of district plans under BRGF and to utilize the services for a limited period by outsourcing in Panchayats where the posts of Panchayat Secretaries are vacant: 1% of the funds will be retained at State level “towards incentive grant” to the PRIs basing on the efforts made by the PRIs for mobilization of local resources through taxation or the entrepreneurial activities or initiatives. Out of the remaining amount the apportionment of funds among PRIs and ULBs will be done on the proportion of Rural and Urban Population in the district. MA &UD Department will develop guidelines for allocation of resources among the Municipalities. Among the PRIs allocation will be done among the three tiers of Panchayats in the ratio of 50:30:20 (GPs: MPs: ZPs) which is followed under SGRY. For distribution of funds inter-se among Panchayat at sub-district level, 50% of the grant made for that tier of PRI has to be allocated on population basis and the remaining 50% is allocated on the basis of proportion of SC and ST population to the total population in that PRI. For the year 2007-08, BRGF Plans for the thirteen districts were prepared and submitted to the Government of India after approval by the State level High Power Committee headed by the Chief Secretary. GOI have approved the plans and allocated 90% of the funds towards the first installment. The funds have been allocated to the PRIs in the ratio of 50:30:20 (GPs: MPs: ZPs). Regarding allocation of BRGF funds to ULBs for the year 2007-08, the required funds out of the planned Budget for 2007-08 for ULBs shall be released from the 5% development fund soon after the MA&UD Department obtains and submits the consolidated master plan for infrastructure strengthening in respect of municipalities which are not covered under any scheme as already decided in the High Power committee. The Municipal Administration & Urban Development Department shall however issue detailed guidelines for preparation and submission of plans for the years 2008-09 to 2011-12 and arrange to submit the district plans to the DPC for necessary consolidation at the district level, so that the district plan comprise the Urban component also from 2008-09 onwards. 27. No special bodies, management committees, societies etc. shall be set up for implementing the BRGF at any Panchayat level or ULB level. 28. Plans once approved by the State High Power Committee cannot be altered at any stage. (BY ORDER AND IN THE NAME OF THE GOVERNOR OF ANDHRA PRADESH) CHITRA RAMCHANDRAN, SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT.
