UPSC NDA-2 – 2017
The Approach Paper to the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-2017) initially set a target for average annual GDP growth rate of 9 percent for the plan period. This target was ambitious and was later revised downwards due to prevailing domestic and global economic conditions.
The Twelfth Five Year Plan’s original growth target, as outlined in the Approach Paper, was 9%.
The actual growth rate achieved during the 12th Plan period was significantly lower than the initial target, closer to 7% on average, reflecting economic slowdowns. The Planning Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog in 2015, midway through the 12th Plan period. The 12th Plan was the last formal Five Year Plan in India.
