The correct chronological order of the events is Mahalanobis Model, followed by Plan Holiday, and then Rolling Plan.
The Mahalanobis Model was the basis for the Second Five Year Plan (1956-1961). The Plan Holiday occurred after the Third Five Year Plan (1966-1969). The Rolling Plan concept was introduced by the Janata Party government for the period 1978-1980.
The Mahalanobis model focused on rapid industrialization with emphasis on heavy industries. The Plan Holiday was a period of annual plans due to economic and political crises. The Rolling Plan was designed as a flexible planning system where targets and projections are updated annually.
