Annual Plan 1968-69 Government of India Planning Commission

Abstract

The two Annual Plans for the year 1966-67 and 1967-68 had been formulated on the basis of the assumptions and calculations which had been made while preparing the Draft Outline of the original Fourth Five Year Plan (1966-71). The Planning Commission, which was re-constituted in September, 1967, after careful consideration felt that with the lapse of time, many of the assumptions and calculations made with reference to the Draft Outline were no longer valid and that a fresh exercise would have to be undertaken and that to be feasible operationally, the five years to be covered by the new Fourth Plan might commence from 1969-70.
