In India, what is the duration of a "short term" plan?

The correct answer is Option 2: 5

India follows a 5-year planning system which was borrowed from the former soviet union (Pioneer in national planning).

The plans which are formed in India are of 2 types : 

• 5-year plan (Short term plan)
• 20-year plan (Long term plan)

The long term plan which is for 20 years is called as Perspective plan.
