All four mentioned factors – Poverty, Group inequality, Regional imbalance, and Unemployment – were considered as challenges for inclusive growth in the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.

The theme of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012-2017) was “Faster, More Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth”. The Plan document explicitly identified key challenges that needed to be addressed to achieve inclusiveness.

The official documents and discussions around the 12th Plan highlighted that achieving inclusive growth required tackling multiple dimensions of exclusion and deprivation. These dimensions included reducing poverty, narrowing disparities based on income, social group (caste, religion, gender), and region, and generating sufficient productive employment opportunities for the growing workforce. All the listed points fall under these critical areas of challenge for inclusive development in India.
