Correct Answer:

Economic growth coupled with social and economic justice

Explanation:

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.
Almost everyone agreed that the development of India should mean both economic growth and social and economic justice.
It was also agreed that this matter cannot be left to businessmen, industrialists, and farmers themselves.
It was decided that the government should play a key role in this.
