The formulation of the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) in Uttar Pradesh involves several major stages that ensure community participation and address local development needs. Here’s an overview of these stages:

• Gram Sabha Formation: The process begins with the formation of the Gram Sabha, which includes all eligible voters in the village. The Gram Sabha plays a crucial role in the development plan formulation.
• Public Awareness and Announcements: The next stage involves spreading awareness and making announcements regarding Gram Sabha meetings and the planning process.
• Discussion and Resolution: Detailed discussions take place on the three pillars and nine themes of Local Sustainable Development Goals at the Gram Panchayat level. This is followed by the resolution of the plans.
• Plan Formulation by Gram Sabhas: The Gram Sabhas formulate the plans with community participation and hand them over to the Gram Panchayats for further action.
• Assistance by Village Development Officer (VDO): The VDO and departmental officers at various levels assist the Gram Panchayats and Gram Sabhas in planning, consolidation, technical assistance, budgeting, implementation, and monitoring.
• Jan Yojana Abhiyan: This campaign is implemented annually from October 2nd to March 31st among the three-tier Panchayat Raj Institutions to facilitate the development planning process.

These stages are designed to ensure that the GPDP is inclusive, participatory, and reflective of the specific needs and priorities of the local community in Uttar Pradesh.
