DEVELOPMENT PLANNING FIVE YEAR PLANS Leena Shankaranarayana

INDIAN ECONOMY WHAT GOODS AND SERVICES SHOULD BE PRODUCED IN THE COUNTRY? HOW SHOULD THE GOODS AND SERVICES BE PRODUCED? SHOULD PRODUCERS USE MORE HUMAN LABOUR OR MORE CAPITAL (MACHINES) FOR PRODUCING THINGS? HOW SHOULD THE GOODS AND SERVICES BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG PEOPLE? A POLICY OF MIXED ECONOMY IS FOLLOWED IN THE COUNTRY. IN A MIXED ECONOMY, THE PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRISES (GOVERNMENT-OWNED) EXIST ALONGSIDE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO ACHIEVE A SOCIALIST PATTERN OF SOCIETY IN A WELFARE STATE.

WHAT IS A PLAN ? A PLAN SPELLS OUT HOW THE RESOURCES OF A NATION SHOULD BE PUT TO USE. SOME GENERAL GOALS AS WELL AS SOME SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES TO BE ACHIEVED WITHIN A SPECIFIED PERIOD OF TIME IN INDIA PLANS ARE OF FIVE YEARS DURATION OUR PLAN DOCUMENTS SPECIFY THE OBJECTIVES TO BE ATTAINED IN THE FIVE YEARS OF A PLAN PLAN DOCUMENTS ALSO SPECIFY WHAT IS TO BE ACHIEVED OVER A PERIOD OF TWENTY YEARS. THIS LONG-TERM PLAN IS CALLED ‘PERSPECTIVE PLAN’. THE FIVE YEAR PLANS ARE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR THE PERSPECTIVE PLAN.

PRASANTA CHANDRA MAHALANOBIS : THE ARCHITECT OF INDIAN PLANNING

FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN (1951-56) IN JULY 1951, THE PLANNING COMMISSION ISSUED THE DRAFT OUTLINE OF THE FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN FOR THE PERIOD APRIL 1951 TO MARCH 1956. IT WAS PRESENTED TO THE PARLIAMENT IN DECEMBER 1952. IN THE FIRST PLAN, AGRICULTURE RECEIVED THE MAIN THRUST, FOR SUSTAINING OF GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRIES WHICH WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE YIELD OF RAW MATERIALS AND FOOD.

FIRST FIVE YEAR PLAN (1951-56) OBJECTIVES: I) TO INCREASE FOOD PRODUCTION. II) TO FULLY UTILISE AVAILABLE RAW MATERIALS. III) TO CHECK INFLATIONARY PRESSURE. OUTLAY: THE TOTAL PROPOSED OUTLAY WAS RS. 3,870 CRORE. IT WAS MORE THAN A SUCCESS, BECAUSE OF GOOD HARVESTS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

SECOND FIVE YEAR PLAN (1956-61) ALSO CALLED MAHALANOBIS PLAN AFTER ITS CHIEF-ARCHITECT. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE WAS TO LAUNCH INDUSTRIALISATION AND STRENGTHEN THE INDUSTRIAL BASE OF THE ECONOMY. IT WAS IN THIS LIGHT THAT THE 1948 INDUSTRIAL POLICY RESOLUTION WAS REVISED AND A NEW RESOLUTION OF 1956 WAS ADOPTED. THE SECOND PLAN STARTED WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE EXPANSION OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND AIMED AT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A SOCIALISTIC PATTERN OF SOCIETY.

SECOND FIVE YEAR PLAN (1956-61) OBJECTIVES: I) A SIZEABLE INCREASE IN NATIONAL INCOME SO AS TO RAISE THE LEVEL OF LIVING. II) RAPID INDUSTRIALISATION OF THE COUNTRY WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF BASIC AND KEY INDUSTRIES. OUTLAY: THE SECOND PLAN PROPOSED A TOTAL PUBLIC SECTOR OUTLAY OF RS. 4,800 CRORES THOUGH ACTUAL OUTLAY WAS ONLY RS. 4,672 CRORE. ADVOCATED HUGE IMPORTS WHICH LED TO EMPTYING OF FUNDS LEADING TO FOREIGN LOANS. IT SHIFTED BASIC EMPHASIS FROM AGRICULTURE TO INDUSTRY FAR TOO SOON. DURING THIS PLAN, PRICE LEVEL INCREASED BY 30%, AGAINST A DECLINE OF 13% DURING THE FIRST PLAN.

THIRD FIVE YEAR PLAN (1961-66) IN THE THIRD PLAN, THE EMPHASIS WAS ON LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT. THE THIRD PLAN REPORT STATED THAT DURING THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD CONCERNED, THE INDIAN ECONOMY "MUST NOT ONLY EXPAND RAPIDLY BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, BECOME SELF-RELIANT AND SELF-GENERATING."

THIRD FIVE YEAR PLAN (1961-66) OBJECTIVES: I) AN INCREASE IN NATIONAL INCOME OF MORE THAN 5 PER CENT ANNUALLY. THE INVESTMENT PATTERN LAID DOWN MUST BE CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING THIS GROWTH RATE IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS. II) AN INCREASE IN THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE AND TO ACHIEVE SELF SUFFICIENCY BY INCREASING FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION. III) GREATER EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITIES, MORE EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC POWER AND REDUCING WEALTH AND INCOME DISPARITIES. ALSO, IT WAS REALIZED FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF FIRST TWO PLANS THAT AGRICULTURE SHOULD BE GIVEN THE TOP PRIORITY TO SUFFICE THE REQUIREMENT OF EXPORT AND INDUSTRY. COMPLETE FAILURE DUE TO UNFORESEEN MISFORTUNES, VIZ. CHINESE AGGRESSION (1962), INDO-PAK WAR (1965), SEVEREST DROUGHT IN 100 YEARS (1965-66).

THREE ANNUAL PLANS (1966-69) PLAN HOLIDAY FOR 3YEARS. THE PREVAILING CRISIS IN AGRICULTURE AND SERIOUS FOOD SHORTAGE NECESSITATED THE EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURE DURING THE ANNUAL PLANS. DURING THESE PLANS A WHOLE NEW AGRICULTURAL STRATEGY INVOLVING WIDE-SPREAD DISTRIBUTION OF HIGH-YIELDING VARIETIES OF SEEDS, THE EXTENSIVE USE OF FERTILIZERS, EXPLOITATION OF IRRIGATION POTENTIAL AND SOIL CONSERVATION WAS PUT INTO ACTION TO TIDE-OVER THE CRISIS IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION. DURING THE ANNUAL PLANS, THE ECONOMY BASICALLY ABSORBED THE SHOCKS GIVEN DURING THE THIRD PLAN, MAKING WAY FOR A PLANNED GROWTH.

FOURTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1969-74) AFTER THE ‘PLAN HOLIDAY', THE FOURTH PLAN WAS BEGUN IN 1969. OBJECTIVES: I) TO ACHIEVE STABILITY AND PROGRESS TOWARDS SELF-RELIANCE. II) TO ACHIEVE AN OVERALL RATE OF GROWTH OF 5.7 PER CENT ANNUALLY. III) TO RAISE EXPORTS AT THE RATE OF 7 PER CENT ANNUALLY. OUTLAY: THE TOTAL PROPOSED OUTLAY WAS RS. 24,880 CRORE, WHICH INCLUDED RS. 15,900 CRORES AS PUBLIC SECTOR OUTLAY AND RS. 8,980 CRORE AS PRIVATE SECTOR OUTLAY.

FOURTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1969-74) MAIN EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURE'S GROWTH RATE SO THAT A CHAIN REACTION CAN START. FARED WELL IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS WITH RECORD PRODUCTION, LAST THREE YEARS FAILURE BECAUSE OF POOR MONSOON. HAD TO TACKLE THE INFLUX OF BANGLADESHI REFUGEES BEFORE AND AFTER 1971 INDO-PAK WAR.

FIFTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1974-79) THE PLAN WAS FORMULATED AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF SEVERE INFLATIONARY PRESSURE. THE FIFTH PLAN PREPARED AND LAUNCHED BY D.D. DHAR PROPOSED TO ACHIEVE TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES VIZ, 'REMOVAL OF POVERTY' (GARIBI HATAO) AND 'ATTAINMENT OF SELF RELIANCE', THROUGH PROMOTION OF HIGH RATE OF GROWTH, BETTER DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND A VERY SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN THE DOMESTIC RATE OF SAVINGS. OBJECTIVES: IN ADDITION TO REMOVAL OF POVERTY AND ATTAINMENT OF SELF-RELIANCE, THE FIFTH PLAN HAD THE FOLLOWING MAJOR OBJECTIVES. I) 5.5 PER CENT OVERALL RATE OF GROWTH IN GROSS DOMESTIC OBJECTIVES.

FIFTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1974-79) II) EXPANSION OF PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT AND FULLER UTILISATION OF EXISTING SKILLS AND EQUIPMENT. III) A NATIONAL PROGRAMME FOR MINIMUM NEEDS AND EXTENDED PROGRAMMES OF SOCIAL WELFARE. OUTLAY: A TOTAL OUTLAY OF RS. 53,410 CRORE WAS PROPOSED FOR THE FIFTH PLAN. THE PLAN WAS TERMINATED IN 1978 (INSTEAD OF 1979) WHEN JANTA GOVT.CAME TO POWER.

SIXTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1980-85) THE DRAFT OF THE SIXTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1978-1983) WAS PRESENTED IN 1978. HOWEVER, THE PLAN WAS TERMINATED WITH THE CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT IN JANUARY 1980. THE NEW SIXTH FIVE YEAR PLAN WAS IMPLEMENTED IN APRIL 1980. OBJECTIVES: I) TO ELIMINATE UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT. II) TO RAISE THE STANDARD OF LIVING OF THE POOREST OF MASSES.

II) THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE GENERATION OF PRODUCTIVE EMPLOYMENT. III) REMOVAL OF POVERTY AND REDUCTION IN INCOME DISPARITIES. IT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS, THE ECONOMY RECORDED 6% GROWTH RATE AGAINST THE TARGETED 5%.

EIGHTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (1992-97) THE EIGHTH PLAN WAS POSTPONED BY TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF POLITICAL UPHEAVALS AT THE CENTRE AND IT WAS LAUNCHED AFTER A WORSENING BALANCE OF PAYMENT POSITION AND INFLATION DURING 1990-91. THE EIGHTH PLAN PROPOSED A GROWTH RATE OF 5.6 PER CENT PER ANNUM ON AN AVERAGE DURING THE PLAN PERIOD. THE EIGHTH PLAN FOCUSED ON CLEAR PRIORITISATION OF SECTORS/PROJECTS FOR INVESTMENT IN ORDER TO FACILITATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY INITIATIVES TAKEN IN THE AREAS OF FISCAL, TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL SECTORS AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.
