Second Five-Year Plan Planning Department Government of Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

The First Five-Year Plan for the State was for Rs. 153 crores. During the period of its execution there was considerable awakening in the people regarding economic needs and concrete steps that can be taken to improve the standard of living and social services. By the time drafting of the Second Plan was started the people became planning-minded. They could play an important role in drawing the Plan. It was our idea to associate the local people with the framing of the Plan as far as possible.
