Five-Year Plan Post-War Development Schemes Government of Punjab

Abstract

The Punjab Government have e prepared a provisional plan for the post-war development of the Province. The objective is to raise the standard of living of the people and to increase their purchasing power so as to lead them on to a full and rich life. To this end the entire resources of the Province should be fully exploited and utilised. War must also be waged against the famous five giants—poverty, squalor, disease, ignorance and idleness. It is obvious that a task of this magnitude is not capable of efficient execution in a short period. the Plan in its various aspects has, therefore, been conceived on a long-term basis extending over a period of 10 to 15 years—even as much as 35 years in the case of Education.
