This Act establishes District Planning Committees in every district of Orissa to coordinate development between rural and urban areas. It requires these committees to combine the plans of local village councils and municipalities into a single district-wide development plan. The committees are composed of elected local officials and government-appointed experts, ensuring representation from both rural and urban populations. By integrating these plans, the law aims to promote balanced growth, efficient resource sharing, and better infrastructure across the state.
