Question:

Which of the following Five Year Plan was criticized for being biased towards the urban areas?

Options:

First Five Year Plan

Second Five Year Plan

Third Five Year Plan

Fourth Five Year Plan

Correct Answer:

Third Five Year Plan

Explanation:

The First Five Year Plan addressed, mainly, the agrarian sector including investment in dams and irrigation.

The Third Plan was not significantly different from the Second. Critics pointed out that the plan strategies from this time around displayed an unmistakable “urban bias”.
