The New India Progress Through Democracy

Abstract

India’s Second Five Year Plan is designed to lift the Indian economy and the Indian people forward, and speed the rebirth of India as a modern nation. The Plan’s immediate aims are economic and social—to raise living standards, to increase national income, production and employment, to provide a richer and fuller life, to break further through the barrier of poverty which has held the Indian people and the Indian economy stagnant in a swiftly developing world.
