Question : Which five-year plan aimed to increase the rapid growth in food grain production?
Option 1: Seventh Five-Year Plan
Option 2: Eighth Five-Year Plan
Option 3: Sixth Five-Year Plan
Option 4: Fifth Five-Year Plan
Correct Answer: Seventh Five-Year Plan
Solution : The correct answer is the Seventh Five-Year Plan.
With an emphasis on 'food, work, and productivity', the Seventh Five-Year Plan attempted to accelerate food grain production, increase employment opportunities, and raise productivity. The strategy was quite effective, as the economy grew at a pace of 6% rather than the planned 5%, despite the decade of the 1980s failing to break out of the "Hindu Rate of Growth".
