Correct Answer: Second Five-Year Plan


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Second Five-Year Plan.

The Community Development Program was launched in India as a rural development initiative during the Second Five-Year Plan, which covered the period from 1956 to 1961. The program aimed to uplift rural communities and improve their socio-economic conditions by focusing on various aspects of development.

Under the Community Development Program, local self-governance institutions were established, known as Panchayati Raj institutions, to promote grassroots democracy and empower rural communities. The program emphasized community participation and the active involvement of local people in the planning and implementation of development projects.

The program focused on several areas such as agriculture, irrigation, education, health, sanitation, and infrastructure development in rural areas. It aimed to bring about comprehensive development by addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by rural communities.
