Explanation: A major classification of planning is done on the basis of societal emphasis by the planning. The type of planning which gives less emphasis upon the social and institutional dimensions is known as the normative planning. In such planning, the planners just search for the best possible results in relation to the established goals giving less importance to issues like caste, creed, religion, region, language, marriage, family, etc. Opposed to the normative planning, the ‘systems planning’ gives due importance to the socio-institutional factors. This is a planning from social-technical point of view but only suitable for a country which has lesser degree of social diversities (naturally, not fit for the Indian conditions).
