Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Statement 1 is correct: the Second Five-Year Plan (1956-61) adopted the Mahalanobis model with a clear emphasis on building heavy and basic industries. Statement 2 is incorrect: India’s import-substitution industrialisation strategy had already begun in the Second Plan, so it was not ‘introduced’ in the Third Plan. Hence, only Statement 1 is right.
