The call for ‘Garibi Hatao’ was incorporated into the Fifth Five Year Plan.
The slogan “Garibi Hatao Desh Bachao” (Remove Poverty, Save the Country) was given by Indira Gandhi during the 1971 general election. The objectives derived from this slogan, primarily poverty alleviation and achieving self-reliance, formed the core strategy and aims of the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974-1979).
While poverty was implicitly addressed in earlier plans through growth strategies, the Fifth Plan made its removal a specific, explicit objective. The plan aimed at a significant step-up in the rate of growth, better distribution of income, and a significant increase in the domestic rate of savings to reduce dependence on foreign aid.
