Inclusive growth as enunciated in the 11th Five Year Plan does not include one, of the following:
Explanation
The Eleventh Planâs notion of inclusive growth is defined as âa growth process which yields broadâbased benefits and ensures equality of opportunity for all,â emphasizing equitable development and social justice [1]. The Plan explicitly highlights objectives such as faster reduction of poverty, narrowing income and regional disparities, reducing vertical and horizontal inequalities (including gender), ensuring access to basic services, and generating highâquality employment for large numbers of people [2]. By contrast, strengthening the capital market is not presented as an objective of inclusive growth in the Eleventh Plan; it is a financialâsector reform/market objective rather than a direct component of the Planâs inclusiveness agenda. Hence option 3 is not included.
