Regional PlanRegion is a contiguous geographical area, which has
a fair degree of uniformity, in administration, economic linkages
or natural environment. It is relatively a large area, with
hierarchy of settlements and varying landscape. (Source-URDPFI
Guidelines) 2015Example- Southern Regions (Tamil Nadu, Andhra
Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala) ,European Economic Market, SAARC,
Damodar Valley, Mumbai Metropolitan Region etc.Region

Considering the importance of regional planning at the district
level and with the view to integrating the urban and regional
development, the DPC and MPC were created through the 73rd and 74th

District as Planning RegionIndia has 640 districts and according
to Census of India,2011.67 % districts are urbanized up to 50 % out
of which approximately 7 % have crossed the line of 40 %
urbanization.9 % districts are 100 % urbanized. Proposed District

Aspects of Investment Region PlanningThe policy in relation to
landuse and the allocation of land for different
uses.Identification of the potential nodes and counter magnets (if
required for decongestion) for future and proposals for
development.Integrated transport policy, administration policy, law
and order machinery.Plan for regional infrastructure linkages, a
dedicated and sustainable connectivity across the corridor and
hinterland.Policy for economic development.Fund flow for
development.Indication of the areas which require immediate
development as "priority areas".Roles and responsibilities of
various stakeholders.Housing and shelter development.Protection of
environmentally and ecologically sensitive areas and conservation
of heritage.Sustainable development of resources including
agriculture and rural development.The perspective plan should
define the influence zone of the corridor or define the rationality
of selection in case of a node.Monitoring systems and social audit
mechanisms to ensure effective implementation of the plan.
Criteria for Delineation of RegionParameters &
Indicators
Environment and land suitability - Soil cover & fertility,
Topography, Geology, Geomorphology, Lithology & Drainage,
Surface water body & Ground water table, Green & forest
cover, Buffer areas, Agriculture cover and intensity of production,
Hazardous zone, Other environmentally sensitive areasDemographic,
Quality of Life - Population growth rate: percentage increase in
population, Urbanism: percentage of urban population to total
population, Migration: number of persons migrating to nodal point,
Density: population per Ha, Aspect of literacy, Other socio
economic aspects,Flows - Goods: Volume of goods traffic, People:
Passenger traffic, Finance: banking facilities, Infrastructure

BACKGROUND TO RPG-2021August 2006: The Final Regional Plan 2011
notified.Total 50% increase in settlement area as compared to RP
2001. Unprecedented public mobilization against Plan.January 2007:
Goa government denotes Regional Plan 2011 giving in to mounting
public pressure.October 2007: CMs Task Force for RPG 2021
formedIncludes Charles Correa, Edgar Ribeiro (ex-CTP India) and
representative members of the publicSeptember 2008: Draft RPG-2021
submitted (181 days Public Process thereafter)November 2010: Final
RPG-2021 notified in parts
RPG-2021 Goa is the only state of the union to have a state
level regional plan.The State of Goa has prepared Goa Regional
Plan, 2021.The basic approach for preparation of Goa Regional Plan
has been protection of fragile environment of the State by
introducing Eco Sensitive Zones and planning details at village
Panchayats level. To facilitate the regional planning three tier
structure was prepared. At highest level is State Level Committee,
at lowest level is village panchayat and Taluka level task force at
intermediate level.The Regional Plan gives a micro level planning
of the State of Goa with the village Panchayats as the planning
units. Multiple level consultative process has been undertaken in
preparation of the plan.
SLC supervised the process of public participation, explained
the plan and coordinated with Taluka level technical task. TLTC
took it to respective village panchayats.12
OBJECTIVESTo create a more vibrant and prosperous Goato create a
Goa that has greater economic prosperity in a manner that does not
endanger the fragile ecosystems that make Goa what it is. ..We
believe this can be best done in honest and open collaboration with
the people of Goa.

POWERGoas power demand has been increasing by leaps and bounds
after its liberation. The annual per capita consumption has
increased from 13 KWH to over 959 KWH, as against the national
average of around 300 KWH. Electricity department can take credit
for electrifying 100 percentage of the villages in Goa and focus
now on making power available to all categories of users in
quantity and quality. The Government of Goa has done well to permit
power generation in the private sector and a 48 MW plant installed
by Reliance Salgaonkar Ltd. is already functional.
WATERGoa receives an average rainfall over 3000 mm. The
availability of water in Goa will not pose any problem for a number
of years to come. The present water supply damnation the State is
catered through Seven Regional Water Supply Schemes installed Opa,
Assonora, Sanquelim, Salaulim, Canacona, Dabose and Chandel. The
Salaulim water supply scheme is the largest amongst all the
regional water supply schemes having capacity of 160 MLD covering
most part of the South Goa District.

MISSION FOR SLUMS
It is the endeavor of the Government of Goa to provide need
based, quality & affordable housing to suit local requirements
along with adequate supporting infrastructure services to all by
2015 AD.SOURCE- GOA HOUSING BOARD
ISSUESPressure on land fuelled by speculation changing character
of Goas settlementsAgriculture lands converting to real estateIntra
migration and lack of jobs to match skill sets of
populationInfrastructure needing up gradation.Environmental
degradation due to Goas two major industries- tourism and
mining.
