NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF INSTITUTIONAL PLANNING

Kothari commission (1964-66) has remarked that one of the weakness of our existing educational system is its rigidity which practically denies freedom for experimentation to teachers and institutions what is needed is a decentralized approach which can permit each institution to go ahead at its own pace and tryout new ideas.

In order to make educational system of the country real and useful, it is necessary that plans should be made from bottom to top on the basis of problem pertaining to the real field and they would not fail them.

Because of institutional planning real problems of the school management get a basis and it becomes possible to determine actual aims.

The capabilities of student can be developed by formal planning according to the definite aims. The students get an opportunity and they develop the qualities of patience, forbearance, sympathy, local leadership etc. Teachers can be trained in democratic life style.

Creativity is inculcated in students and they develop the qualities of initiative self-confidence, problem facing etc. It develops school system and gives opportunity to the development of innovations.

It has resulted into decentralization of educational planning in which the role of the head of the institution, teachers, students and parents has been given recognition.

 It helps in maximum resource utilization available at hand and aims at general improvement of the institution. It is need based and democratic in nature and covers almost all domains of the institution.

 It encourages teachers to take initiative by providing opportunity in annual improvement plans of institution. It has also special contribution to make in national development.
