• Design of the Manual

    This manual deals with process of preparation of C-DAP and provides sequentially the steps to be taken in the process and methodology to be adopted. Manual begins with guidelines to prepare the vision for the district and elaborates on methodology in collection and analysis of the data. The focus of the methodology and process is to arrive at optimum utilisation of resources and convergence of the existing and new schemes. The manual emphasises preparation of innovative schemes keeping in view the developmental needs of the district and the available resources. It also provides suggestive/indicative data formats to be utilised. Recent software prepared by NIC namely ?Plan Plus? should be used in preparing the district plan. A set of frequently asked questions on the preparation of C-DAP is answerded in Annexure III.
