The concept of `Minimum Needs` refers to a strategy introduced during one of the Five-Year Plans in India. The First Five-Year Plan focused on the development of agriculture and industries, while the Second Five-Year Plan emphasized the expansion of heavy industries. The Third Five-Year Plan, however, did not introduce the concept of `Minimum Needs`.

The Fourth Five-Year Plan, which spanned from 1969 to 1974, is when the concept of `Minimum Needs` was implemented. It aimed to address the basic needs of the population by providing access to food, housing, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. The plan focused on reducing poverty and improving the quality of life for the people.

Therefore, the correct answer is option-2: Fourth.
