Which of these is NOT one of the common goals of five year plans?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Globalisation.
The Five Year Plans in India were primarily aimed at national development and typically focused on goals such as:
-
Economic growth
-
Poverty alleviation
-
Employment generation
-
Self-reliance
-
Social justice
-
Industrial and agricultural development
Globalization, on the other hand, refers to the process of increasing international integration and was not a core or original goal of the Five Year Plans. It became relevant later, especially post-1991, when India began liberalizing its economy. But it was not a foundational or common goal throughout the planning era.
