Abstract
The process of decentralization in Kerala was launched during the IX plan period as the ‘People’s Plan Campaign’ to emphasize the concept of participatory planning that was new to the people, people’s representatives, and officials in local governments. Under the X Plan, the decentralization program in Kerala was restructured and named as ‘Kerala Development Plan’ (KDP). During the XI Plan, the entire process was revamped by giving stress to the concept of people’s Planning’, focusing on the completion of the process of institutionalization of decentralization. The XII plan approach envisaged some concrete steps to strengthen the planning process with the use of information technology.
