Discussion
Assertion (A) : District Planning Board plays an important role in plan formulation.
Reason (R) : It has proper information of local resources.
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Decentralised planning in India gives district bodies, such as the District Planning Board or, after the 74th Amendment, the District Planning Committee under Article 243ZD, a central part in preparing the district plan. They consolidate the plans of panchayats and municipalities into one plan for the district.
They are given that role precisely because, being close to the ground, they have proper information about local resources and needs, which a state or national planning body lacks. The reason therefore explains the assertion, which rules out the codes saying one of them is false or that the reason does not explain it.
