3. REGIONAL PLAN
Region 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) 2015
Example- Southern Regions (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala) ,European Economic Market, SAARC,
Damodar Valley, Mumbai Metropolitan Region etc.

4. 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 CAA.

5. DISTRICT AS PLANNING REGION
 India 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.

6. ASPECTS OF INVESTMENT REGION PLANNING
 The policy in relation to land‐use 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.

7. CRITERIA FOR DELINEATION OF REGION
Parameters & 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 areas
 Demographic, 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
links: Supply and management of services such as water supply, waste water and solid waste treatment with
focus on recycling and re‐use, Drainage channels, irrigation channels, power house, Information: location of
institutes, movement of students and scholars , Telephone calls
 Economic and investments – Economic, Large investment proposals for developments, Workers
Percentage of on‐agricultural workers to total workers, Land ownership and land uses.
 Others- Contiguity of areas, Integrated development, Adjustment of boundaries with other planning areas,
Manageable size of the region from planning point of view.

DISTRICT MAP OF GOA

9. TOPOGRAPHICAL DETAILS
 3 Topographical Zones –
Coastal
Midlands
Ghats
 33% Forest Cover
 Diverse Ecosystem

10. 3 REGIONAL PLANS: GOA
 RPG 2001: First Regional Plan in India to Cover Entire
State
 RPG 2011: First Regional Plan to be Scrapped
 RPG 2021: First Regional Plan to Introduce Bottom
Up Planning (Plans developed at the lowest level of
firm and then channeled through each next higher
level of its participation)

11. BACKGROUND TO RPG-2021
 August 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: CM’s Task Force for RPG 2021 formed
– Includes Charles Correa, Edgar Ribeiro (ex-CTP India) and
representative members of the public
 September 2008: Draft RPG-2021 submitted (181 days
Public Process thereafter)
 November 2010: Final RPG-2021 notified in parts

12. 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.

13. OBJECTIVES
“To create a more vibrant and prosperous Goa…to 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.”

15. POWER
Goa’s 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.
WATER
Goa 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.
Mandovi River Zuari River Chapora River

16. 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.

settlements
 Agriculture lands converting to real estate
 Intra migration and lack of jobs to match skill sets of population
 Infrastructure needing up gradation.

growth –
•Creation of new growth centers in the midland talukas
•Enhanced public transportation networks
•Preserving Goa’s fragile environment
