INTRODUCTION
• A planning region is a segment of territory (space) over
which economic decisions apply. The term 'planning' in the
present context means taking decisions to implement them in
order to attain eco-nomic development. Planning regions
may be ad-ministrative or political regions such as state,
district or the block because such regions are better in
management and collecting statistical data. Hence, the entire
country is a planning region for national plans, state is the
planning region for state plans and districts or blocks are the
planning regions for mi-cro-regional plans.
• For proper implementation and realization of plan
objectives, a planning region should have fairly
homogeneous economic, to zoographical and socio-cultural
structure. It should be large enough to contain a range of
resources provide it economic viability. It should also
internally cohesive and geographically a contagion area unit.
Its resource endowment should be that a satisfactory level of
product combination consumption and exchange is feasible.
It should have some nodal points to regulate the flows
L.S. Bhat and V.L.S. Prakasa Rao
(1964)
• Bhat and Rao proposed a regional
frame-work for resource
development. Delineation was done
with the help of qualitative maps of
distribution of important natural
resources. The major regions cut
across the state boundaries.
However, adminis-trative
convenience was not ignored. The
scheme included 7 major and 51
minor regions. Seven major regions
include:
L.S BHAT AND V.L.S. PRAKASA
RAO REGIONS
• (1) South India,
• (2) Western India,
• (3) Eastern Central India,
• (4) North-Eastern India,
• (5) Middle Ganga Plain,
• (6) North-Western India, and
• (7) Northern India.
V. NATH (1965)
• V. Nath prepared a scheme of Resource
Development Regions and Division of India
based at the homogeneity in physical
factors, and agricultural land use and
cropping pattern. Although the regions cut
across the state boundaries, the division is
kept within the state limit.
• Thus the entire country has been divided
into 15 main and 48 sub regions. These
major resource development regions
include :
V. NATH REGIONS
• (1) Western Himalaya,
• (2) Eastern Himalaya,
• (3) Lower Ganga Plain,
• (4) Middle Ganga Plain,
• (5) L Upper Ganga Plain,
• (6) Trans-Ganga Plain,
• (7) Eastern Plateaus and Hills,
• (8) Central Plateaus and; I Hills,
• (9) Western Plateaus and Hills,
• (10) Southern Plateaus and Hills,
• (11) Eastern Coastal Plains and Hills,
• (12) Western Coastal Plains and Ghats,
• (13) Gujarat Plains and Hills,
• (14) Western Arid Region, and
• (15) Island Region.
P. Sen Gupta (1968)
• Following the Soviet concept of economic
regions and production specialisation , P.
Sen Gupta (1968) presented a framework
of economic regions of different order. She
started with the discovery of planning
units of the lowest order and then grouped
and regrouped them to achieve planning
regions at meson and macro levels. In her
scheme of economic regions, Sen Gupta
gave much importance to natural regions
and used modality, production
specialization and utilization of power
resources as bases of deline-ation. Her 7
macro regions are further divided into 42
meso regions . These 7 regions include :
P. SEN GUPTA REGIONS
• (1) North Eastern Region,
• (2) Eastern Region,
• (3) Northern Central Region,
• (4) Central Region,
• (5) North-West-ern Region,
• (6) Western Region, and
• (7) Southern Region
C.S. Chandrasekhar (1972)
• C.S. Chandrasekhar proposed
ascheme of planning regions . He
divided India into 13 micro and 35
meso planning regions. He used the
criteria of physical economic and
ecological factors to demarcate the
macro planning regions . These
regions include :
C.S. CHANDRASEKHAR REGIONS
• (1) South peninsular region,
• (2) Central peninsular region,
• (3)Western peninsular region,
• (4)Eastern peninsular region,
• (5)Central deccan region,
• (6) Gujrat region,
• (7) Western rajasthan region ,
• (8) Aravali region ,
• (9) Jammu & Kashmir and the ladakh region,
• (10) Trans into Gangetic region & the hill regions,
• (11) Ganga- Yamuna plain region ,
• (12) The lower Ganga plain region,
• (13) North-Eastern region ,
TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING
ORGANISATION
• In 1968, the Town and Country Planning Organisation
suggested a scheme of planning regions delineated on
the principle of economic viability, self-sufficiency and
ecological balance at the macro and meson levels. The
emphasis of the scheme was to introduce regional factor
in economic development.
• This approach would complement the macro planning at
the national level, with a compo-nent of regional policies,
aimed at reducing regional disparities in the
development. The macro- regionalization sought to link a
set of areas, rich in one type of resources with areas
having complemen-tary resources or even resource poor
areas, so that the benefits of economic activity in the
former may flow into the latter.
• These planning regions cut across the State boundaries,
but do not completely ignore the basic administrative
units. The 13 macro- regions proposed under the scheme
include:
REGIONS
• (1)South Peninsular (Kerala and Tamil Nadu),
• (2)Central Peninsular (Karnataka, Goa,
Andhra Pradesh
• (3) Western Peninsular (western
Maharashtra coastal and interior districts),
• (4) Central Decca (eastern Maharashtra,
central and southern Madhya Pradesh),
• (5) Eastern Peninsular (Orissa, Jharkhand
north-eastern Andhra Pradesh and Chatting
• (6) Gujarat (Gujarat),
• (7) Western Rajasthan, ( Aravalli Region
(Eastern Rajasthan and wasted Madhya
Pradesh),
CONTINUED. . .
• (9) Jammu, Kashmir and Lad
• (10) Trans Indo-Genetic Plains and Hills (Pune
Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, West Uttar
Pradesh and Uttaranchal),
• (11) Ganga-Yamuna Plains (central and
eastern Uttar Pradesh, and northern Madhya
Pradesh),
• (12) Lower Ganga Plains (Bihar and West
Bengal Plains), and
• (13) North-Eastern Region (A Sam and north-
eastern states including Sikkim and north
Bengal).
NATMO
• Under the directorship of Professor
S.P. Chatterji (1966), the National
Atlas Organisation
proposed a 4-tier scheme of
economic regions. In this scheme
macro regions constitute a group of
states delineated with reference to
the factors like population, politico-
historical considerations, eco-nomic
ties, agricultural output, and
complementary character of natural
resources.
