A machinery specifically responsible for supervising the IADP was created at the centre;
the existing machinery at the state level was strengthened for guiding the Programme
and a district functionary was designated as Project Officer and made responsible for
Programme administration at the district level. At the block level, the normal complement
of the CDP staff was strengthened by providing additional staff. Appropriate machinery
to coordinate the activities- of different departments and agencies was provided for at
various levels. To ensure quick and speedy action, adequate financial and administrative
powers were delegated to the District Collectors and Project Officers. These powers were
reviewed from time to time and additional powers, wherever necessary, were given to
the officers to meet the needs of the programme.
