Summary, etc. In this book Professor Mukherjee has stressed the need for institutional planning. The aim of such planning, in the words of another eminent sociologist, Radha Kamal Mukherjee is "to bring the instrumental or operational values into coincidence with the intrinsic or essential value, i.e., to bring the technical and programmatic imperatives into coincidence with the moral imperatives...".<br/>In deciding which institutions to conserve and which to change, such planning is sharply distinguished from traditionalism, which Prof. Mukherjee shows, is often imbibed by a institutional planning. Further, the latter mode of planning, by assuming modernisation/ westernization as the sole goal of planning reduces its multilateral and multi-dimensional character to a simplistic unity, based on naive presuppositions regarding institutions and their capacity to change.<br/><br/>Professor Mukherjee further shows that the aim of planning is to reconcile growth to development, and to steer clear of over- and under-growth, which represent two facets of the same process. He further establishes the superiority of the trans-disciplinary approach to planning (as distinguished from the inter disciplinary approach, which obviates holistic analysis).<br/>Clearly, institutional planning is not value free. But Prof. Mukherjee demonstrates how the efficacy of different plans can be effectively monitored in terms of four cardinal valuations and lays out the analytics of a planning monitoring system.
