SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 33

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Fifth Five-Year Plan

• The Fifth Five-Year Plan of India was prepared and launched by D.P. Dhar.
• This plan, spanning from 1974 to 1978, aimed at achieving self-reliance and poverty eradication through a focus on agriculture, employment generation, and industrial growth.
• Under Dhar's guidance, the plan emphasized social justice and economic growth, introducing measures to reduce poverty and improve the living standards of the population.
• The plan, however, was terminated prematurely in 1978 by the incoming government, but its initial framework and objectives were a testament to Dhar's vision and strategic economic planning.
