Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Morarji Desai.
The Rolling Plan concept was introduced in 1978 by the Janata Party government, headed by Prime Minister Morarji Desai. This followed the termination of the fifth Five-Year Plan a year ahead of its schedule. Unlike fixed five-year plans, a rolling plan is dynamic; it involves continuous review, where targets and allocations are revised annually based on the previous year's performance. It aimed to provide flexibility in resource allocation and address the immediate socio-economic needs of the country more effectively.
