The first seven Five Years Plans gave

importance to ______.
1. Self- Reliance
2. Modernization
3. Equity
5. None of the above
Option 1 : Self- Reliance

Solution
The correct answer is Self-Reliance.
Key Points
The first seven Five Year Plans in
India gave importance to self-reliance.
Self-reliance means avoiding imports of
those goods which could be produced
in India itself.
This policy was considered a
necessity in order to reduce India's
dependence on foreign countries,
especially for food.
The first seven Five Year Plans
emphasized the development of the
following sectors to achieve self-
reliance:
Agriculture: The plans invested in
irrigation projects, dams, and
agricultural research to increase
food production.
Industry: The plans focused on
the development of heavy
industries, such as steel,
machinery, and chemicals.
Infrastructure: The plans invested
in roads, railways, ports, and
power generation to support
economic growth.
The focus on self-reliance was
instrumental in India's economic
development during the first few
decades after independence.
The country became self-sufficient in
food production and made significant
progress in industrialization. However,
the policy of import substitution was
also criticized for making Indian goods
less competitive in the global market.

Which of the following is not an objective of

India’s economic planning ?
1. Population growth
2. Industrial growth
3. Self-reliance
5. None of the above
Option 1 : Population growth

Solution
The correct answer is Population growth .
Key Points
In 1990-91, India faced a
severe Balance of Payments (BOP)
crisis, where its foreign exchange
reserves were just adequate to
finance 15 days of imports.
In order to get out of the macro-
economic crisis in 1991, India
launched a New Economic Policy,
which was based on LPG or
Liberalisation, Privatisation, and
Globalisation model.
The broad range of reforms under
the LPG model included:
Liberalizing Industrial Policy:
Abolition of industrial license
permit raj, Reduction in import
tariffs, etc.
Beginning of
Privatisation: Deregulation of
markets, Banking reforms, etc.
Globalization: Exchange rate
correction, liberalizing foreign
direct investment and trade
policies, Removal of mandatory
convertibility cause, etc.
The main thrust of economic reforms
in India was to make the market the
central decision-maker in the
economic system.
The origin of the financial crisis can
be traced to the inefficient
management of the Indian economy
in the 1980s.
For the first time, the Union Budget for
1992-93 made the Indian rupee
partially convertible.
This was an inevitable move for the
expeditious integration of the Indian
economy with that of the world in order
to face the serious current account
deficit in the balance of payments, the
Government of India introduced the
partial convertibility of the rupee
from March 1, 1992.
Restructuring of the economy under
the economic reforms era was done
through decentralized planning.

borne out by data on several
dimensions like poverty, malnutrition,
mortality, current daily employment,
etc.
The broad vision for the 11th Plan
included several interrelated
components like rapid growth reducing
poverty & creating employment
opportunities, access to essential
services in health & education,
especially for the poor, extension of
employment opportunities using the
National Rural Employment Guarantee
Programme, environmental
sustainability, reduction of gender
inequality.
Accordingly, various targets were laid
down like reduction in unemployment(
to less than 5% among educated
youth ) & headcount ratio of poverty
(by 10%), reduction in dropout rates,
the gender gap in literacy, infant
mortality, total fertility, malnutrition in
the age group of 0-3 ( to half its
present level), improvement in sex ratio,
forest & tree cover, air quality in major
cities, ensuring electricity connection to
all villages & BPL households (by 2009)
& reliable power by end of 11th Plan, all-
weather road connection to habitations
with population 1000 and above (500 in
hilly areas) by 2009, connecting every
village by telephone & providing
broadband connectivity to all villages by
2012.
The Eleventh Plan started well with the
first year achieving a growth rate of
9.3%, however, the growth decelerated
to a 6.7% rate in 2008-09 following the
global financial crisis.
The economy recovered substantially to
register growth rates of 8.6% and 9.3%
in 2009-10 and 2010-11 respectively.
The second bout of a global slowdown
in 2011 due to the sovereign debt crisis
in Europe coupled with domestic
factors such as tight monetary policy
and supply-side bottlenecks, resulted in
a deceleration of growth to 6.2% in
2011-12.
The growth rate of the 11th Five-Year
Plan is 8%.
Important Points
The first five-year plan was started from
1951 to 1956.
The concept of the five-year plan was
borrowed from USSR.
