Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
Article 243ZD gives a District Planning Committee an integrative planning role.
It links plans made by rural and urban local bodies and produces a district-wide draft development plan.
Application
The constitutional wording can be applied in order:
The unification of plans of Panchayats and Nagar Palikas corresponds to consolidating plans prepared by Panchayats and Municipalities.
The preparation of model planning of the district corresponds, in the source wording, to preparing a draft development plan for the district as a whole.
The development of a unified attitude among Panchayats describes an attitudinal goal, not a function stated in Article 243ZD.
Thus, two listed statements describe the Committee’s aims.
Cross-check / Contrast
Plan unification is the consolidation limb.
District model planning is the draft-development-plan limb.
A unified attitude is not one of the provision’s stated functions.
Result
The appropriate value is ‘More than one of the above’.
