<br/><br/> The 73rd and 74th Amendments of the constitution of India opened up new opportunities for devolution of powers to Panchayati Raj institutions. Kerala attempted a novel programme of the `Peoples Plan Campaign` in 1996. A few months prior to this, the integrated rural technology centre, a research wing of the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad initiated an Action Research Programme in five panchayats to evolve a set of models of participatory planning for sustainable development and to create microlevel organisational structures to carry out them.
