GPDP study of Jharkhand
This document is an attempt to capture the process of the best practices of GPDP in Jharkhand in order to make this process more user friendly for the practitioners. This has become all the more relevant when a lot of emphasis is being given by the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, Government of India on GPDP by accommodating 17 SDGs into 9 LSDGs.
This document seeks to strengthen not only planning but also the implementation aspects of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) which is a critical gap of this whole process. This document also draws our attention towards “Defining responsibility at various nodes of implementation, pitching the idea of realization of plan through convergence with schemes of departments and a focus on regular monitoring from the very beginning of GPDP” as the foundation of its success.
