Process of Plan Development
A decentralized participatory planning process has been followed in development of this State
PIP 2010-11. This bottom-up planning process began with consultations with block stakeholder groups,
Block /core Group members and village communities in all villages of each Block of the District. Block
Action Plans were developed based on the inputs gathered through village action plans prepared by
Village Health & Sanitation Committees.
The health facilities in the block viz. SCs, PHC and, CHC were surveyed using the templates
developed by Government of India earlier. Those are updated now (Facility Survey update). The inputs
from these facility surveys were taken into account while developing the Block Action Plan.
The District Health Action Planning Team (DHAPT) provided technical oversight and strategic
vision for the process of development of District specific Health Action Plans for 2010-11.
The members of the DHAPT had also taken the responsibility of contributing to the selected
thematic areas such as RCH, newer initiatives under NRHM, immunization etc. Assessment of overall
situation of the District and development of broad framework for planning was done through a series of
meetings of DHAPT and PRI leaders with consent from DC of the districts.
This State PIP 2010-11 has been prepared through a process of integration of Block Health
Action Plans including Health Facility Surveys. An initial meeting was held in which the current status
of the District Health Action Plan was presented and suggestions and feedback taken. Based on the
inputs received from the Blocks, a draft of each chapter was developed after discussions. These were
further improved upon through individual consultations with Teams and MO i/c of the Blocks and health
centre.Specific dates and times were fixed for this purpose. A date was also proposed for a meeting
during which the individual chapters would be discussed and approved before the final DHAP was
prepared for presentation to the District Health Society for approval.
