Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A) Decentralizing planning.
The Kerala State Planning Board (KSPB) is a statutory body constituted by the Government of Kerala to assist the state government in planning and implementing development programmes. The KSPB has a number of functions, including:
- Formulating the state development plan;
- Monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the state development plan;
- Promoting decentralization and participation in planning;
- Providing technical assistance to local bodies and other agencies in planning and implementation;
- Promoting research and development in planning.
The KSPB plays a key role in decentralization planning by providing technical assistance and capacity building to local bodies. The KSPB also promotes participation in planning by organizing workshops and consultations with various stakeholders.
The other options are incorrect because:
- B) Formulating state-level policies is the responsibility of the state government.
- C) Implementing centrally-sponsored schemes is the responsibility of the central government.
- D) Tax administration is the responsibility of the central government and the state government.
