Annual Plan 1993-94 Orissa Vol. I

Abstract

The Seventh Five Year Plan ended on March 31,1990 and the Eighth Five Year Plan commenced from 1.4.1992. Annual Plans were formulated in the intervening two years 1990-91 and 1991-92 which were also preparatory years for formulation of the Eighth Plan. In view of the limited resource support available, the Eighth Five Year Plan envisages prioritisation of sectors / projects for investment of resources in thrust areas, with a view to achieving optimum economic development of the State within the available resources. One of the objectives, within these priorities established, is the creation of a social security net through employment generation, improved health care and provision of extensive education facilities, more specifically, achieving the goal of universal primary education and adult education through a programme of mass participation and involvement of the clientele groups.
