Sixth Five Year Plan 1980-85

Abstract

Soon after its reconstitution in April, 1980, the Planning Commission started work on the Sixth Five Year Plan 1980—85. A number of working groups were set up to do the necessary preparatory work and consultations were held with the Central Ministries and the Consultative Committee of Members of Parliament on Planning. A basic paper entitled “Sixth Five Year Plan 1980-85-A Framework” was presented to the National Development Council on its 34th meeting held on August 30 and 31, 1980. the Council considered this paper and directed the Planning Commission to proceed with preparation of the final draft of the Sixth Plan.
