PlanPlus
A software to strengthen planning at grass roots level
Objective Facilitates the Decentralized Planning
process in Local Language by Converging the rural and urban plans to generate
an integrated district plan Supporting need/activity based planning rather
than scheme-driven capturing the planning work flow Converging the flow of funds from different central
and state sponsored schemes Acting as a decision support tool through the use
of supporting GIS and Graphs

Planning Workflow in PlanPlus
Captures the plan unit and state-specific work flows as
defined by the State Planning Department.
The Plan is routed to various stakeholders as per the
defined workflow.
Versions of the workflow are maintained to ensure
consistency in legacy plans.

Planning ProcessStakeholder – Planning Unit
Capturing Information on Wish List,
Works(location, proposed cost, proposed
duration, asset/beneficiary)
and Projects
Suggestion Box The Gram/Ward Sabha or any planning unit or any individual
can express their needs to other planning units. For eg., a GP may suggest its BP to build a link road or a GP may suggest a municipality to build a warehouse
These suggestions are shared in public domain and can be one and all including DPC and the planning units
DPC and the planning units can decide if there is any need to take up the suggested need as a work in any of the Plans
Project
Each planning unit begins with the
identification of projects
A project is a logical collection of related
works, possibly belonging to different sectors
Helps in bringing about sectoral integration
and ensures maximum impact of the
interventions in different sectors
Works A project may have one or more works (but at least
one work) Work Details
Work Focus Area (sector) Proposed Asset details Proposed Location of work Target Beneficiaries Unit of work Cost estimates for each year of the work

Schemes
The software captures details about the
schemes managed by various central and
state government departments
Details include inter-alia, the sector/work area of the scheme
its tied/untied status
Annual releases to planning units etc

Analytical Reports like Pattern of Credit Distribution in different sectors (PS, SS, TS) and among 29/19 Thrust Areas
Planning Process Stakeholder - Planning Units
Creating Annual Plan, Allocating
available resources to Prioritised
works
Annual Plan
An annual plan would consist of one or more works from one or more projects
The software automatically includes all works which have been created for the Plan Year and also includes spill-over, on-going and resumed works in the Plan.
Based on the sector of the work and that of the scheme, the software automatically shows the amount of expected allocation under different schemes.
The Planning unit can allocate funds from different schemes to different works
One work may be allocated funds from more than one scheme, thereby converging the funds of different schemes (if the schemes are for the same sector as that of the work or if the scheme has provision for untied funds)
Annual Plan (contd.) Works may be included or excluded from the plan as per availability of
funds Priority can be set for each work; fund availability is automatically
calculated A higher tier (such as ZP or BP) may co-opt works of a lower tier unit A Planning unit can create a work which is part of a supra project The Planning unit would also have access to its development and
planning profile through GIS maps and graphs The Planning unit can view plans of other planning units within the
same district; this would enable it to take more informed decision about its own plan
The software also informs the planner about fund availability under different schemes under different sectors thereby ensuring maximum utilization of funds
Planning Process – Technical Scrutiny
Scrutinize Plans submitted by Planning Units and offer comments on cost, duration and methodology – Technical Appraisal Committee
Technical and Administrative clearance Once an optimal Plan has been prepared by a planning unit, it gets
forwarded for technical and administrative clearance If any work requires technical or administrative norm clearance, then it
is evaluated The Plan is returned back to the Planning Unit if any work requires
modification to meet technical or administrative clearance (for eg., revision of cost estimates)
The Planning Unit must modify as per the clearance requirement and forward it back for clearance
If all works are cleared, the Plan is forwarded to DPC.
Planning Process – DPC Approval
Scrutinize Plans cleared by TAC and accord/endorse
approval and integrate it with District Annual Plan -
DPC
Plan Approval by DPC The DPC can generate sectoral views of the Plan (to be
reviewed by sectoral committees) and take decisions (approve, reject, review) on each work included in the Plan
The DPC can either approve a Plan (if all works are approved) or return the Plan to the planning unit for review/modification
The DPC can also take decisions on co-opted works and look at suggestions of planning units
The DPC would also have access to the development profile of the planning unit through various maps and graphs
The software also provides graphs to get visual view of the investment/allocation profile of the Plan
Reports Annual Plan of respective Plan Units Integrated District Plan History of the Plan as it goes through the cycle of revisions Status of approval of different works Expected Fund utilization Sectoral Plan Scheme Plan Sectorwise Scheme plan and vice versa Sectorwise BRGF allocation Gap filling by BRGF
Analytical support using GIS Census villages have already been mapped
to the panchayats of all BRGF districts Boundaries of Gram Panchayats in BRGF
districts are now available Census data can be overlaid on top of these
maps and used to analyze the planning unit’s development profile
Work is going on for the remaining districts
Customizing PlanPlus PlanPlus is a highly generic software making it easy to
customize it to specific requirements
Based on Open source tools and technologies
Uses GIS technologies and Census data
Provides complete local language support in UNICODE
Captures the state-specific workflows as defined by the State Planning Department
Can be easily extended to facilitate the preparation of state and central government plans.
Is web-based but can be installed locally also
