Which one of the following five Years Plan of India focused on ‘Growth with Social Justice and Equity’?

The correct answer is (c), the 7th Five Year Plan.

The 7th Five Year Plan (1985-1990) was the first plan to focus on ‘Growth with Social Justice and Equity’. The plan aimed to achieve a growth rate of 5.5% per annum, while also reducing poverty and inequality. The plan focused on the following areas:

• Agriculture and rural development
• Industry and energy
• Infrastructure
• Social development

The 7th Five Year Plan was successful in achieving some of its goals, such as increasing agricultural production and reducing poverty. However, it was not able to achieve its target growth rate of 5.5% per annum. This was due to a number of factors, including the global economic recession of the 1980s.

Despite its shortcomings, the 7th Five Year Plan was a significant step forward for India. It was the first plan to focus on social justice and equity, and it laid the foundation for future development plans.

The other options are incorrect. The 6th Five Year Plan (1980-1985) focused on ‘Modernization and Technological Upgradation’. The 8th Five Year Plan (1992-1997) focused on ‘Poverty Alleviation and Employment Generation’. The 9th Five Year Plan (1997-2002) focused on ‘Sustainable Development’.
