Which one of the following periods in the history of Indian planning has not been a period of Annual Plans ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: D

Explanation

In the history of Indian planning, there have been specific periods where Five-Year Plans (FYPs) were suspended in favor of Annual Plans:

  • 1966–69: Known as the "Plan Holiday," three annual plans were implemented following the failure of the Third FYP due to the Indo-Pak war, consecutive droughts, and currency devaluation.
  • 1979–80: Following the termination of the Fifth FYP by the Janata Government, a "Rolling Plan" was introduced. 1979–80 is considered an annual plan period before the Sixth FYP was officially restarted in 1980.
  • 1990–92: Due to fast-changing political situations at the Center and the Balance of Payments crisis, the Eighth FYP could not be launched on time, resulting in two annual plans.
  • 1992–97: This period marks the Eighth Five-Year Plan, which was successfully implemented following the economic liberalization of 1991.
