Abstract:
When we consider Kerala and Karnataka States according
to their levels of decentralisation. Kerala is at the beginning
of the scale of decentralisation whereas Kamataka has moved far
ahead along this scale. Therefore I in order to conduct a comparative
study of the SUbject under analysis t Kamataka has been selected
owing to the fact that it is in an advanced stage in the experience
of district planning compared to Kerala , Karnataka could successfully
implement district planning and it is me of the pioneering states
in this regard. But Kerala has not gained much experience in
the field of decentralised district planning till now. Furthermore
Kerala and Kamataka states are selected for the present study
due to operational reasons I besides the author I s familiarity with
the socia-economic conditions of these states. Thus. an analysis
of the district planning experience of Kamataka will provide
constructive and valuable information. which will be of great
importance to Kerala State, which is now aspiring to introduce
ful.I-f'Iedge district planning by constituting elected District Coancils
in every district of Kerala. Moreover. the findings and policy
implications of the present study will be of immense help to
planners, politicians. administrators, academicians and people
at large.
