The Puducherry District Planning Committee Act, 1994
The Puducherry District Planning Committee Act, 1994 mandates the creation of District Planning Committees across the Union Territory of Puducherry to streamline regional development. It applies to local governing bodies, including village panchayats, commune panchayat councils, and municipal councils, as well as local administration officials and elected representatives. The law requires these local bodies to prepare annual local development plans, which the committee then consolidates into a comprehensive draft development plan for each district. By coordinating spatial planning, resource sharing, infrastructure, and environmental conservation between rural and urban areas, the Act ensures balanced and structured growth across the territory.
