Match List I withList II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists
List I | (Emphasis)
A.First | 1. Food security and women empowerment
B Second | 2. Heavy industries
C Fifth | 3.Agriculture and community development
D. Ninth | 4.Removal of poverty
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 (A-3, B-2, C-4, D-1). This matching aligns with the core objectives of India's Five-Year Plans (FYP).
- First FYP (1951-56): Launched post-partition, it focused on the Harrod-Domar model, prioritizing agriculture and community development to ensure food self-sufficiency.
- Second FYP (1956-61): Based on the Mahalanobis model, it shifted focus toward rapid industrialization, specifically heavy industries and capital goods.
- Fifth FYP (1974-78): This plan is famous for the slogan 'Garibi Hatao', emphasizing the removal of poverty and attainment of self-reliance.
- Ninth FYP (1997-2002): It focused on "Growth with Social Justice and Equality," specifically targeting food security and women empowerment as key pillars of social development.
Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they misattribute these foundational objectives to the wrong planning periods, failing to recognize the chronological evolution of India's economic priorities.
