When was the rolling plan adopted?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. After the fifth five-year plan.

The Rolling Plan approach was adopted in 1969, which was after the completion of the Fifth Five-Year Plan (1974–79). This system was introduced by the Planning Commission of India to make economic planning more flexible and responsive to changing conditions. Unlike the traditional five-year plans, rolling plans allowed annual updates within a long-term perspective, helping the government adjust targets and priorities based on emerging economic realities.
