India is a vast, diverse, culturally rich but ridden with multiple and multiferous problems and at times synergysing subcontinent. Therefore, development planning action whether in social, economic and related field makes it imperative that the systems must be made to involve as much stake holders and role players as possible to make it sustainable. Holistic view relating to area plannery with Contituencies of Parliamentarians is essential for viability effective co-ordination and co-operation beneficial to all. With his wide experience, the author has produced a blue print in relation to ground realities, principally to identify possible UN system support to potential development facilities linked to MP’s Local Area Development Schemes in chosen project areas of Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Maharashtra. The compulsion of convergence and golden opportunity to link up UN Systems, resources with Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme is superb confluence. Any scheme in isolation is bound to fail, the lessons of history and UN Systems brings this fact. The book will be useful to draw better concepts for planners and organisers for developing replicable, cost effective and area specific models. It will also serve as a guide to research workers in the field of development planning.
