Course Name : Development Project Management Planning Tools and Techniques - II
Code(Credit) : CUTM1245(1-1-2)
Course Objectives
- The objective of the course is to impart relevant knowledge and skills on Appraisal, Planning, and Monitoring & Evaluation and impact assessment of development projects and programmes.
- The course comprise of theory, data capturing and analysis tools, workshops and field practice to enable the students to gain practical knowledge on development planning and strategies of local development.
Course Outcomes
CO1: Students will be able to capture required data, present in tables, graphs and describe the data. They will be able to analyse the data using measures of central tendency.
PO2, PO3, PO5
CO2: They will be able to use quantum GIS, map the socio, cultural, institutional, political details of the village.
PO9, PO10
CO3: Students will be able to apply data mapping tools, spatial mapping tools and PRA tools. The students will apply the tools to a live project through a baseline survey and then prepare a development plan.
PO2, PO3, PO5, PO6
Course Syllabus
Module-1
DATA COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION
Data and its importance, sources of data collection, data collection methods, presentation of data using tables and graphs/charts, Data Analysis using measures of central tendency, present a report using the data collected.
Pedagogy: The module will be covered through different tasks of data collection and presentations. Field work, student presentations and classroom discussions on the task performed will follow Action-reflection-action model.
Task-1: Students (two in a group) will be asked to study a Socio-Economic study from the internet (learnt in DPMPT-I) and present the questionnaire, method used and the features of the study.
Task-2: Students (two in a group) will be asked to select a theme for conducting a study on the nearby village, prepare the questionnaire for the baseline survey, collect data and present the data in table—cross tabs, graphs, summarise it using average, percentage etc. Submit a report on the study conducted.
Module-2
SPATIAL TOOLS AND ANALYSIS
Introduction to GIS, QGIS and Village GIS, Installation of QGIS software, Data collection using mobile (mobile GPS mapping), Data representation, Conversion of data to create maps and preparation of layout. Use Quantum GIS to map socio, cultural, institutional, political details of a village.
Pedagogy: Workshops and Field survey using GIS, mapping the data in the Labs.
Task - 3: Preparation of village resource map
Module-3
PARTICIPATORY MAPPING TOOLS AND APPROACHES FOR DEVELOPMENT PLANNING
Participatory Rural Appraisal methods:
- Venn diagram,
- Social maps and analysis,
- seasonal analysis,
- Livelihoods analysis,
- Map of services and opportunities,
- Timelines, Trendlines,
- Natural Resource mapping,
- Transect walk and diagramming,
Logical Framework Approach :
- Stakeholder analysis;
- Problem tree: cause and effect diagram;
- Objective tree (Analysis): Means and End diagram, Force field Analysis;
- Alternative Analysis;
- Development of Project Planning Matrix
Gram Sabha Approach to planning :
- Comprehensive Village Analysis-
- Social analysis;
- Economic analysis;
- Vulnerability analysis;
- Women’s situation analysis;
- Power and relationship analysis;
- Mapping the status of rights –
-
- Problem prioritization,

- Rights mapping/understanding problems from the rights perspective;
- Baseline of the current situation;
- Participatory indicators of change/success –
- Dream map,
- Indicators of change/success;
- Village development/Action plan –
- Detailed implementation plan
- Using the Village Book to link with government plans and mobilise resources
Pedagogy: Workshops and field practice exercises, the data collected during data capturing will be validated through PRA tools. FGDs will be conducted with different groups to discuss in detail about the alternative plans and subsequently prepare a developmental plan using either LFA or Gram Sabha approach. Training Manuals of LFA and Gram Sabha Approach will be used.
Task - 4: Preparation of Developmental plan for the village
