With reference to the District Planning Committee (DPC) constituted under Article 243ZD of the Constitution of India (74th Constitutional Amendment Act), consider the following statements:
1. A District Planning Committee is mandated to consolidate the development plans prepared by Panchayats and Municipalities in every district.
2. Not less than four-fifths of the total members of the committee must be elected by, and from amongst, the elected members of the district-level Panchayat and Municipalities.
3. The Chairperson of every District Planning Committee forwards the consolidated development plan directly to NITI Aayog for central fund allocation.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
- 1 and 2 onlyCevap
- B2 and 3 only
- C1 and 3 only
- D1, 2 and 3
Cevap
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Chairperson of the District Planning Committee is constitutionally required to forward the draft development plan to the Government of the State, not to a central agency like NITI Aayog.
Statements 1 and 2 are constitutional facts under Article 243ZD. The District Planning Committee consolidates rural and urban plans in a district, with at least four-fifths of its members elected from among elected members of the district panchayat and municipalities proportional to rural and urban population ratios.
