Andhra Pradesh’s decentralized planning approach involves District Planning Committees, Village Development Boards, and Urban Local Bodies.
District Planning Committees (DPCs) are responsible for preparing district development plans. They are composed of elected representatives from the state legislature, local bodies, and other stakeholders.
Village Development Boards (VDBs) are responsible for preparing village development plans. They are composed of elected representatives from the village, and are responsible for implementing the village development plans.
Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) are responsible for preparing urban development plans. They are composed of elected representatives from the city, and are responsible for implementing the urban development plans.
The decentralized planning approach is designed to ensure that local needs are met and that development is equitable. It also aims to promote participation and accountability in the planning process.
