As required under Article 243 ZD in Part IX A of the Constitution the AP DPC Act 2005 provides for constitution of District Planning Committees (DPC) in every district for under taking decentralized planning. The DPCs are required to consolidate the plans prepared by the Panchayats and Municipalities in the district, and, on this basis, to formulate a draft development plan for the district as a whole. Each DPC has the authority to take decisions regarding matters of common interest between the Panchayats and the Municipalities, including spatial planning, sharing of water and other physical and natural resources, as also the integrated development of infrastructure and environmental conservation in the districts concerned.

Statistics play a vital role in planning. Therefore both the local bodies as well as DPC should give high priority to creation & maintenance of database. Therefore there is a need for the DPC to arrange for collection and computerization of habitation wise information on Social Economic and gender statistics. The DPC has to integrate the data and develop District Level Indicators.

The sources of data are Census figures, BPL survey and other censuses conducted by the Department of Animal Husbandry, Department of Planning, Education and Health Departments. Much of this data has to be compiled on a village wise basis.

After collection and compilation of village level data, the DPC need to develop District Level Indicators on various parameters. The following guidelines are issued on collection and maintenance of database in the district.
