This was gradually increased to Rs.50.00 lakhs per year by the end of the Fifth Plan Period. During the Five Year Plan (1980-85) period , an outlay of Rs.4.80 lakhs has been proposed, Along with the increase in financial outlay, proportionately the physical targets have also increased considerably.
