ISSUES CONSIDERED REASON FOR
CONSIDERATION
A gap was created between the people of the rural areasand those of the urban areas. Initial plans from theplanning commission
concentrated over the
rural strengthening.
Due to recession, famine and drought, India did not pay
much heed to long term goal
Country was low in
economic ability to sustain
a long term goal planning
The process of implementation of the Five Year Plans was
disrupted in 1966
(severe drought in the country and aggressions from China
and Pakistan.)
Fourth Five Year Plan was
put off by three years due
to these impacts
The intervention period between the Third and Fourth FiveYear Plans had annual plans Wars and Naturalcalamities

ULCRA
Formation of (ULCRA) Urban Land Ceiling & Regulation Act 1976.
The Urban Land (Ceiling & Regulation) Act was enacted to prevent concentration of
land holding in urban areas and to make available urban land for construction of
houses for the middle and low income groups.
Hereafter ULCRA was to facilitate the availability and affordability of urban land by
increasing its supply in the market and by establishing an efficient land market.
The ULCRA provided for imposition of a ceiling on both ownership and possessionof vacant land.
Acquisition of excess vacant land by the state government with powers to dispose of
the land for the common good.
The ULCRA came into force in 1976 and covered towns with a population of more
than two lakh as per the 1971 Census.

EFFECTS OF ULCRA
The implementation of the ULCRA in the states and UTs was, however, dismal mainly
due to :
Absence of clarity.
Compensation provided for the acquired land was very little, which often led to
lengthy litigation disputes. The maximum compensation was Rs.10 per sq. meter
and the total compensation could not exceed Rs.2 lakhs per owner. This made
landowners reluctant to declare their vacant land as surplus.
The Govt. of India decided to repeal the Act with the passing of the Urban
Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Repeal Act, 1999. Various states
subsequently repealed the Act.

THE NATIONAL RURAL EMPLOYMENT PREOGRAMMES
(NREP)
NREP aims at providing supplementary employment opportunities to rural workersparticularly during the lean periods of the year when they are not able to find gainful
employment. It also aims at creation of rural economy and steady rise in the income
level of the rural poor and thereby bring about improvement in the quality of life of the
villagers.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN
RURAL AREAS
The Development of Women and Chlldren in Rural Areas (DWCRA) is a centrally
sponsored scheme started in 1982. The objectives of the programme are to focus
attention on the women members of the families of the target group so as to increase
their income and also to provide supporting services needed to enable them to take up
income generating activities. Besides providing financial support, it also aimed at
increasing women's access to other welfare services.

GOALS:PROGRAMME THRUSTS DURING THE SIXTH PLAN
Removal of Poverty:
Accelerated Rural Development
Promoting Opportunities for Gainful Employment
Agriculture and Allied Activities: The achievement of an overall
annual rate of growth of the economy at around 5 per cent during the
1980-85 Plan is crucially dependent upon an acceleration in the
performance of the agricultural sector.o Industry and Infrastructure: Industry: A major challenge to be faced in the Sixth
Plan is to secure a substantial acceleration in the rate of industrial growth. It is
envisaged that industrial production in the country will grow at an average annual
rate of 8-9 per cent during the Plan. Also, improved functioning of the
infrastructure, particularly coal, power and railways, is an essential condition forthe realization of the industrial growth target. In addition, in order to make
efficient use of scarce capital, much greater attention will have to be paid to
securing greater efficiency and competitiveness in the functioning of our industry.
