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

The First Five Year Plan addressed, mainly, the agrarian sector including investment in dams and irrigation. The second Five Year Plan stressed on heavy industries and rapid industrialisation. 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”. |
