Which of the following statements is correct about the consensus on development plans after independence in India?

a- Development should be left to private actors.
b- There was a need for the established Private actors to develop a design or plan for development.

Neither of the Statements is correct.

After Independence, our country had to make a series of major decisions concerning development and the conflicts arising due to it. Each of these decisions could not be made independent of other such decisions. All these decisions were bound together by a shared vision or model of economic development.

Despite the various differences, there was a consensus on one point: that development could not be left to private actors, and that there was a need for the government to develop a design or plan for development.  In fact, the idea of planning as a process of rebuilding the economy earned a good deal of public support in the 1940s and 1950s all over the world.
