These wars exposed the weakness in our economy and shifted the focus to the defence industry, the Indian Army, and the stabilization of the price (India witnessed inflation). V.

IV. The plan has several advantages as the targets could be mended and projects, allocations, etc. were variable to the country's economy. This means that if the targets can be amended each year, it would be difficult to achieve the targets and will result in destabilization in the Indian economy. 8. Sixth Five Year Plan: I. Its duration was from 1980 to 1985, under the leadership of Indira Gandhi. II. The basic objective of this plan was economic liberalization by eradicating poverty and achieving technological self-reliance. III.

Nature of Indian Economy: Structure and Key Features 11. Eighth Five Year Plan: I. Its duration was from 1992 to 1997, under the leadership of P.V. Narasimha Rao. II. In this plan, the top priority was given to the development of human resources i.e. employment, education, and public health. III. During this plan, Narasimha Rao Govt. launched the New Economic Policy of India. IV. Some of the main economic outcomes during the eighth plan period were rapid economic growth (highest annual growth rate so far – 6.8 %), high growth of agriculture and allied sector, and manufacturing sector, growth in exports andk imports, improvement in trade and current account deficit. A high growth rate was achieved even though the share of the public sector in total investment had declined considerably to about 34 % V. This plan was successful and got an annual growth rate of 6.8% against the target of 5.6%. 12. Ninth Five Year Plan: I.

It achieved a growth rate of 8% against a target of 9% growth. 15. Twelfth Five Year Plan: I. Its duration is from 2012 to 2017, under the leadership of Manmohan Singh. II. Its main theme is “Faster, More Inclusive and Sustainable Growth”. III. Its growth rate target was 8%. For a long feeling that for a country as diverse and big as India, centralised planning could not work beyond a point due to its one-size-fits-all approach. Therefore, the NDA government has dissolved the Planning Commission which was replaced by the NITI Aayog. Thus, there was no thirteen Five Year Plan, however, the five-year defense plan was made. It is important to note that the documents of the NITI Aayog have no financial role. They are only policy guide maps for the government.
