Sixth Five Year Plan (Draft) 1980-85

Abstract

From Preface: This volume incorporates the State’s development programmes for the "State’s Sixth Five Year Plan. The programmes envisage a total outlay of Rs. 3760 crores which is more than the total of the outlays (Rs. 2833 crores) in the III, IV and Vth Five Year Plans put together. Even allowing for the price rise, this would represent a considerable step up in the tempo of development. It is hoped that this scale of outlay will enable us to make a significant advance towards the fulfilment of the broad objectives spelt out in the .Plan, particularly those relating to the uplift of the weaker sections, provision of minimum needs, creation of a sound infrastructure, and generation of employment on an adequate scale.
