The Planning Commission of India was established on March 15, 1950, by a Government Resolution. Its objectives were closely aligned with the Directive Principles of State Policy.

  • Statement 1 is correct: The 1950 Resolution stated that the Commission should promote a rapid rise in the standard of living by efficient exploitation of resources, increasing production, and offering opportunities to all for employment in the service of the community.
