0. From which Five Year Plan “Growth with Social Justice” has received emphasis?
- Option : A
- Explanation : There have been changes in the priorities of development and emphasis on objectives through the plans. For example, the development priority shifted from agriculture in the First Plan to basic and heavy industries in the Second Plan. The Third Plan recognized the importance of export promotion and the Fourth Plan emphasized self-reliance as an objective of development. ‘Growth with Social Justice’ has been receiving added emphasis since the Fifth Plan. The Fifth Plan, which realized that ‘a direct attack on poverty’ was necessary for rapid eradication of poverty, formulated a specific package of programmes, known as the minimum needs programmes, to improve the living conditions of the poor and these programmes have been continued, with modifications, in the subsequent plans.
