Which of the following five year plans aimed at the removal of poverty and attainment of self-reliance ?
Answer: D
The plan was the Fifth Five Year Plan.
The Fifth Plan (1974-79) took as its twin objectives removal of poverty (garibi hatao) and attainment of self-reliance, with programmes such as the Minimum Needs Programme. It was cut short in 1978 by the Janata government's rolling plan.
The Second Plan (1956-61) emphasised rapid industrialisation (the Mahalanobis model), the Third (1961-66) aimed at a self-reliant, self-generating economy and food self-sufficiency, and the Fourth (1969-74) set growth with stability and progressive self-reliance. Only the Fifth paired poverty removal with self-reliance as its central aims.
