The correct answer is the Second Five-Year Plan.
The Nehru-Mahalanobis strategy, focusing on rapid industrialization with an emphasis on the development of heavy industries, was the core approach adopted for the Second Five-Year Plan (1956-1961).
The First Five-Year Plan (1951-1956) was based on the Harrod-Domar model and focused primarily on agriculture, irrigation, and power. The Second Plan marked a significant shift towards an industrial base.
