FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN (1951-56)
 IN JULY 1951, THE PLANNING COMMISSION
ISSUED THE DRAFT OUTLINE OF THE FIRST
FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR THE PERIOD APRIL 1951
TO MARCH 1956. IT WAS PRESENTED TO THE
PARLIAMENT IN DECEMBER 1952.
 IN THE FIRST PLAN, AGRICULTURE RECEIVED
THE MAIN THRUST, FOR SUSTAINING OF
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIES
WHICH WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT A
SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE YIELD OF RAW
MATERIALS AND FOOD.

FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN (1951-56)



OBJECTIVES:



I) TO INCREASE FOOD PRODUCTION.
II) TO FULLY UTILISE AVAILABLE RAW
MATERIALS.
III) TO CHECK INFLATIONARY
PRESSURE.
OUTLAY: THE TOTAL PROPOSED
OUTLAY WAS RS. 3,870 CRORE.

CHIEF-ARCHITECT.



THE MAIN OBJECTIVE WAS TO LAUNCH
INDUSTRIALISATION AND STRENGTHEN THE
INDUSTRIAL BASE OF THE ECONOMY.
IT WAS IN THIS LIGHT THAT THE 1948 INDUSTRIAL
POLICY RESOLUTION WAS REVISED AND A NEW
RESOLUTION OF 1956 WAS ADOPTED.
THE SECOND PLAN STARTED WITH AN EMPHASIS ON
THE EXPANSION OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND AIMED
AT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SOCIALISTIC PATTERN

THOUGH ACTUAL OUTLAY WAS ONLY RS. 4,672
CRORE.

EMPTYING OF FUNDS LEADING TO FOREIGN LOANS.
IT SHIFTED BASIC EMPHASIS FROM AGRICULTURE TO
INDUSTRY FAR TOO SOON. DURING THIS PLAN, PRICE
LEVEL INCREASED BY 30%, AGAINST A DECLINE OF
13% DURING THE FIRST PLAN.

THIRD FIVE YEAR PLAN (1961-66)
 IN THE THIRD PLAN, THE EMPHASIS
WAS ON LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT.
 THE THIRD PLAN REPORT STATED
THAT DURING THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD

BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, BECOME
SELF-RELIANT AND SELF-
GENERATING."

THIRD FIVE YEAR PLAN (1961-66)
 OBJECTIVES:
 I) AN INCREASE IN NATIONAL INCOME OF MORE THAN 5 PER
CENT ANNUALLY. THE INVESTMENT PATTERN LAID DOWN MUST
BE CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THIS GROWTH RATE IN THE
SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

ACHIEVE SELF SUFFICIENCY BY INCREASING FOOD GRAIN
PRODUCTION.
 III) GREATER EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIES, MORE EVEN
DISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC POWER AND REDUCING WEALTH

PLANS THAT AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE TOP
PRIORITY TO SUFFICE THE REQUIREMENT OF EXPORT AND
INDUSTRY.
COMPLETE FAILURE DUE TO UNFORESEEN MISFORTUNES, VIZ.
CHINESE AGGRESSION (1962), INDO-PAK WAR (1965), SEVEREST
DROUGHT IN 100 YEARS (1965-66).

THREE ANNUAL PLANS (1966-69)




PLAN HOLIDAY FOR 3YEARS.
THE PREVAILING CRISIS IN AGRICULTURE AND
SERIOUS FOOD SHORTAGE NECESSITATED THE
EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURE DURING THE ANNUAL
PLANS.
DURING THESE PLANS A WHOLE NEW
AGRICULTURAL STRATEGY INVOLVING WIDE-
SPREAD DISTRIBUTION OF HIGH-YIELDING
VARIETIES OF SEEDS, THE EXTENSIVE USE OF
FERTILIZERS, EXPLOITATION OF IRRIGATION
POTENTIAL AND SOIL CONSERVATION WAS PUT
INTO ACTION TO TIDE-OVER THE CRISIS IN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION.
DURING THE ANNUAL PLANS, THE ECONOMY
BASICALLY ABSORBED THE SHOCKS GIVEN
DURING THE THIRD PLAN, MAKING WAY FOR A
PLANNED GROWTH.

FOURTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1969-74)
