The NCR Regional Plan 2021 aims "to promote growth and balanced development of the National Capital Region". This can be sought to be achieved in the UP Subregional Plan 2021/31through: 1. Identificationanddevelopmentofregionalsettlementscapableofprovidingsuitable economicbaseforfuturegrowthbyabsorbingtheeconomicdevelopmentimpulseof NCTDelhi. 2. Providing efficient and economical transportation well integrated with the land use patterns, in order to support the balanced regional development in such identified settlements. 3. Minimizingadverseenvironmentalimpactsresultingfromtheprocessofdevelopment proposedinthesubregion. 4. Developing selected urban settlements with urban infrastructural facilities such as transport, power, communication, drinking water, sewerage, drainage etc. comparablewithnctdelhi. 5. Providing a rational land use pattern in order to protect and preserve good agriculturallandandutilisetheunproductivelandforurbanuses. 6. Promotingsustainabledevelopmentintheregiontoimprovequalityoflife. 7.

This will be attained by means of a balanced and mutuallyreinforcingsystemofcentralplacesandbringingaseriesofnecessaryfunctionsto the actual reach of the rural population. Following steps are proposed to achieve these objectives: 1. Development of small and medium towns in the region as they are subregional centres or service centres. These towns would play an important role in supporting the socioeconomic development in their rural hinterland by providing access to education and health facilities, agricultural extension services and agroindustries basedonlocalproducts. 2. Rural development will be encouraged by providing facilities and services in appropriatehierarchywhichwouldstimulateproductionandincreasesincomeofthe ruralpopulation,diversifytheeconomy,makevillagesattractivetoliveandworkand checkmigrationtourbancenters. 3.
