PLANNING POLICY AND PRACTICES

Session - 6
 PLANNING POLICY & PRACTICES

•Development of adequate transport Infrastructure has been

one of the impediment in growth of Indian Economy

•Economy – GDP – 7.9%

- This will require about 10% growth in transport sector

•Growth of land based transport

- road GQ + port connectivity motorized transport
 PLANNING IN THIRD WORLD

1. Wider development context

2. Development sensitive approach

3. Deficiencies sensitive approach

4. Deficiencies in conventional planning

5. Emerging transport alternatives

6. Match transport supply with demand

 Planning Process

Scientific effort
Observing current traffic
Hypothesis concerning relationship between movement
and requirements
Testing this hypothesis as a base of making estimate of
future traffic demand
Recommending additional transport facility

 Objectives of tenth five year plan
• Strengthening of high density network-invest towards building up capacity
through national Rail vikas yojana for national projects and investment
towards completion of sanctioned rail projects
• Technological up gradation of assets for improving efficiency, throughput
and increasing average speed of trade
• Utilizing information technology for better customer interface
• Improving safety of operations by replacement of over aged assets through
special railway safety funds
• Reduction in energy bill by direct purchase of power from central generating
agencies and joint venture for setting up of power plants
• Mobilization of additional resources through private public participation in
railway projects to increase in share of freight and passenger traffic during
10th plan
