Before India’s independence and the formal launch of the First Five Year Plan in 1951, several economic plans were formulated by different groups and individuals. The Bombay Plan was proposed by a group of leading Indian industrialists in 1944. The Gandhian Plan was drafted by S.N. Agarwal in 1944, based on Gandhian principles. The People’s Plan was put forth by M.N. Roy in 1945, advocating for decentralized planning. The Sarvodaya Plan was formulated by Jayaprakash Narayan in 1950, drawing inspiration from Gandhian and Sarvodaya ideals. All four mentioned plans predate the First Five Year Plan of 1951-1956.

Various plans were proposed in India before the official Five Year Plans commenced in 1951, reflecting different economic ideologies and priorities.

These early plans influenced the thinking behind India’s post-independence economic development strategy, which eventually adopted a mixed economy framework with centralized planning initially, influenced by the state-led models.
