Explanation

The Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-2017) was the final five-year plan implemented in India before the Planning Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog [4]. The official title and objective of this plan were specifically defined as 'Faster, Sustainable, and More Inclusive Growth' [4]. This represented an evolution from the Eleventh Five Year Plan, which focused on 'Faster and Inclusive Growth' [5]. According to the official plan documents, the 12th Plan aimed for a growth rate of approximately 8% while emphasizing that such growth must be broad-based to ensure equality of opportunity and environmental sustainability [4]. Therefore, the specific phrases used in the title are 'Faster' (2), 'More inclusive' (3), and 'Sustainable' (4). The terms 'Inclusive' (1) and 'More sustainable' (5) were not part of the formal tripartite title of the Twelfth Plan.
