Indian plans may be good on paper but are rarely good in implementation. This is because:
(i) Inefficiency in gathering information;
(ii) Time lag;
(iii) Lacking implementational capacity;
(iv) Non-coherence between physical and financial planning;
(v) Development strategies often ignored spatial implication of planning ;
(vi) Absence of proper employment strategy ;
(vii) Excessive stress on investment growth;
(viii) Corrupt practices;

Respected Sir
ReplyDeletegreetings! i have a question: isn't it correct that the single most important reason behind poor implementation of india's plans and policies is 'lack of political will'? don't you agree that if there was political will, issues like inefficiency, time lag etc could be adequately addressed?
Eager to know what you feel..thank you and have a nice day sir!
In a democratic set up, 'lack of political will' is the root of many problems.In a multi-party democracy like India, all political parties may not also have 'similar political will'. Political will apart, other structural deficiencies are also responsible for our poor show on planning front.
