The objectives of planned development as envisaged by the new government emphasize eradication of unemployment problems, accelerated growth of agricultural production and reduction of disparities in income especially of those below the proverty line. These objectives require that there should not only be rapid and integrated development but it should also be based on effective local level planning and implementation in the countrysibe. These guidelines, therefore, comprise totality of the programme in rural areas towards the desired socio-economic goals.
