Explanation

The phrase 'Inclusive Growth' became a central theme of India's planning process starting with the 11th Five Year Plan (2007–2012). The 11th Plan's official title was 'Towards Faster and More Inclusive Growth' [6]. This shift reflected a policy priority to ensure that the benefits of rapid economic development reached marginalized sections of society, including SCs, STs, and women [3]. This focus was further expanded and refined in the 12th Five Year Plan (2012–2017), which adopted the subtitle 'Faster, Sustainable, and More Inclusive Growth' [4]. While earlier plans like the 9th and 10th emphasized 'Growth with Equity' and social development, the specific terminology of 'Inclusive Growth' was explicitly institutionalized as the core objective only in the 11th and 12th Plans [4]. Therefore, the phrase is associated with both the 11th and 12th Plans.
