A plan spells out how the resources of a nation should be put to use. It should have some general goals as well as specific objectives which are to be achieved within a specified period of time. In India, these plans are divided into 2 categories: Short term plan with a period of 5 years (five-year plan) and a long term plan with a period of 20 years (Perspective plans).
