The Mahalanobis model was influenced by which of the following ?
Answer: B
The Mahalanobis model was influenced by the Soviet model.
P.C. Mahalanobis designed the strategy behind India's Second Five Year Plan (1956-61). It gave priority to heavy industry and capital goods under state direction, on the reasoning that investment in the machine-building sector would raise the long-run rate of growth. This closely followed the Feldman model used in Soviet planning in the 1920s, and Mahalanobis was in touch with Soviet planners.
The Gandhian model stressed village self-sufficiency and cottage industry, almost the opposite emphasis. Latin American import-substitution ideas and a generic 'democratic model' were not the sources of the heavy-industry strategy.
