Scope and objectives of programme planning

Scope and objectives of programme planning

  • For achieving success of any programme or work it is essential that you should have a planning of the project.
  • The general objective of having extension programme is to influence people to make changes in their way of life and in making and living. The assumption is that there is need for change and if people are not aware, it is necessary to make them aware of this; and to develop their needs.
  • The objectives of programme planning are:
      1. To ensure careful consideration of what is to be done and why
      2. To furnish a guide against which to judge all new proposals.
      3. To establish objectives towards which progress can be measured and evaluated.
      4. To have a mean of choosing the important from incidental (Minor, less important) problems and the permanent from the temporary changes.
      5. To develop a common understanding about the means and ends between various functionaries and organisations.
      6. To ensure continuity during changes in personnel.
      7. To help in development of leadership
      8. To avoid waste of time and money and promote efficiency.
      9. To justify expenditure and to ensure flow of funds.
      10. To have available in written form a statement for public use.
      11. Avoiding future problems
      12. Minimise the conflicts
      13. Provide guidance
      14. Provide reliable information
  • Some extension workers like to make a distinction between the meaning of objective and scopes. If objectives are defined as directions of movement, then a goal may be defined as the distance in any given direction one expects to go during a given period of time.
