B.  Short Answer Questions

 

1.  Is development possible without formulating development planning? Conduct a speech program on it.

Ans:- 

Respected Chairperson,

Judges, teachers, and dear friends

I am very glad to get a chance to express my views on ‘Development is not possible without planning proposal’.

A development planning proposal presents what to do, why to do, where to do, when to do, etc. It helps to obtain goals on targeted time. There is less chance of delay and no question will raise on what to do thereafter. The development will be faster and will move to right direction with right utilization of resources and means. There will be no chance of misuse of budget. Public participation will increase and people will get the fruits of development easily. So development planning proposal should be presented before running projects. It helps to gain support from the public. Running development activities without proposal is like a crow in the fog. At last I want to quote a saying ‘Well begun is half done’.

Thank you.
