Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A

Explanation

Statement I is correct. The Second Five-Year Plan (1956–1961), based on the Mahalanobis model, officially aimed to establish a "socialistic pattern of society" in India, a goal adopted during the Avadi Session of the Indian National Congress in 1955.

Statement II is correct. The period between 1966 and 1969 is known as the "Plan Holiday." Due to the Indo-Pakistan War (1965), severe droughts, and currency devaluation, the Fourth Plan was postponed, and three Annual Plans were formulated instead.

Statement III is incorrect. The Ninth Five-Year Plan (1997–2002) was launched in the 50th year of India's Independence (1997). The 60th year of Independence (2007) actually marked the commencement of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007–2012). Therefore, the chronological correspondence in the statement is factually wrong.
