A final decision to this effect will be taken in the meeting of the full Planning Commission in New Delhi tomorrow. The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh will chair the meeting. Talking to reporters in Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said that the current fiscal is likely to see a growth of over 8 percent in gross domestic product (GDP), as against 8.5 percent registered during the previous fiscal. Mr. Ahluwalia said one of the key issues in the Approach Paper will be the effective implementation of programmes with transparency and accountability.
