(xii) Time Frame: This sec on should indicate the proposed 'Zero' date for commencement and provide a PERT,
CPM chart, wherever relevant.

(xiii) Risk analysis: This sec on should focus on iden fica on and assessment of project risks and how these are
proposed to be mi gated. Risk analysis could include legal/ contractual risks, environmental risks, revenue
risks, project management risks, regulatory risks, etc.

(xiv) Evalua on: This sec on should focus on lessons learnt from evalua on of similar projects implemented in
the past. Evalua on arrangements for the project, whether concurrent, mid-term or post project should be
spelt out. It may be noted that con nua on of projects/ schemes from one Plan period to another will not
be permissible without an independent, in depth evalua on being undertaken.
(xv) Success criteria: Success criteria to assess whether the Development Objec ves have been achieved
should be spelt out in measurable terms. Base-line data should be available against which success of the
project will be assessed at the end of the project (Impact assessment). In this regard, it is essen al that base-
line surveys be undertaken in case of large, beneficiary-oriented projects.
Success criteria for each Deliverable/ Output of the project should also be specified in measurable terms to
assess achievement against proximate goals.

(xvi) Financial and economic analysis: Financial and economic analysis of the project may be undertaken where
the financial returns are quan fiable. This analysis would generally be required for investment and
infrastructure projects, but may not always be feasible for social sector projects where the benefits cannot
be easily quan fied.
(xvii) Sustainability: Issues rela ng to sustainability, including stakeholder commitment, opera on and
maintenance of assets a er project comple on, and other related issues should be addressed in this
sec on.

Note: Requirements of the EFC/PIB format may also be kept in view while preparing the DPR.
