The 11th Plan of Andhra Pradesh set monitorable targets on poverty reduction, literacy, health, infant and maternal mortality, agriculture, irrigation and infrastructure, while allocation shifted from agriculture and communications towards social services. Social services rose from about 27% to 30.3% of outlay, while agriculture fell from 20.2% to 18.5%.

**Introduction**

The 11th Five Year Plan of Andhra Pradesh⟦2⟧⟦1⟧ was designed to promote inclusive growth and human development amid fiscal constraints and regional disparities, with clear monitorable targets and evolving resource allocation patterns from the 10th Plan.

**Monitorable Targets of the 11th Plan**

1. **Inclusive Growth and Social Equity**: Targets included poverty reduction and upliftment of Scheduled Castes and Tribes through Tribal Sub Plan and Scheduled Castes Sub Plan, alongside health and education improvements via schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan⟦3⟧ and Rajiv Aarogyasri.  
2. **Agriculture and Infrastructure**: Despite a slight reduction in agriculture’s share to 18.5%, key projects like the Polavaram irrigation project were prioritized; infrastructure growth focused on power, transport, and reduced public communications investment due to private sector expansion.  
3. **Human Development Targets**: Targets included higher literacy, better health infrastructure and lower infant and maternal mortality, backed by a larger social services share.

**Resource Allocation in the 10th Plan**

1. **Agriculture and Balanced Growth**: Allocated 20.2% to agriculture and allied sectors, with social services at 27%, addressing regional disparities through schemes like Rajiv Gandhi Shrameena Vikas Yojana.  
2. **Public Sector Role and Fiscal Challenges**: Public sector enterprises contributed to financing, but subsidy management and borrowing posed challenges.

**Resource Allocation in the 11th Plan**

1. **Social Services Priority**: Increased allocation to 30.3%, focusing on education, health, and sanitation.  
2. **Fiscal Constraints**: Agriculture’s share fell to 18.5% and communications outlay was cut, while committed expenditure and borrowing limited capital spending, impacting resource utilization.

**Way Forward**

1. **Enhance Capital Expenditure Efficiency** and strengthen real-time monitoring systems.  
2. **Focus on Inclusive Regional Development** and maintain fiscal discipline.

**Conclusion**

The 11th Plan’s monitorable targets and resource allocation reflect Andhra Pradesh’s efforts to balance growth, equity, and fiscal sustainability amid evolving challenges.
