Vision & Strategy Formulation

Vision statement has to be formulated by planning units such

as DAPU, BAPU/ TAPU, VAPUs in consultation with PRIs.

There is no indication of constitution of planning units

There is no mention about capacity building of planningunits/department officials

Plan plus software was not used

Primary data collected by BTT was considered

Secondary data was collected from mandal parishad level

Agro-ecological situations and yield gaps were super imposed

on mandal parishads to formulate the vision

Sector wise achievements during the last 5 years available


7/22

Information Needs & Analysis

Economic indices were compiled, infrastructural gaps worked

out, important core sectors identified & SWOT analysis done

Information was collected and analysed to give clear picture onvillages, population, administrative divisions, agrarian structure,

farming situation, rainfall, land utilization, land holdings,

irrigation and ground water, district income and growth rate

The document says that broad vision & strategy have been

developed at the state level i.e., to accelerate the production of

different commodities mainly through improvements in

productivity

Production strategies were planned for different sub-sectors

and investment requirements were estimated
