Second Five Year Plan - A Draft Outline

Abstract

The beginning and the end of a five year plan are vital dates in the nation’s history. Each five year plan is both an assessment of the past and a call for the future. It seeks to translate into practical action the aspirations and ideals of the millions in the country and gives to each of us the opportunity of service in the common cause of eliminating poverty and raising standards of living. The first five year plan ends in March, 1956. Its approach and outlook are part of our common thinking.
