Draft Perspective Plan For Bihar (1978-89) (A Macro-Economic Analysis)

Abstract

From Foreword: The “Draft Perspective Plan for Bihar (1978—89)—A micro-economic analysis” has been so designed as to enable the State to catch up with the all-India per capita Income level by 1988-89 at 1973-74 prices. In formulating the Plan, the three ills, viz., poverty, mounting unemployment and widening disparities in wealth and incomes, which afflict our economy, have been taken into account. The Plan, therefore, inter alia, aims at attaining full employment, eradicating poverty and removing social, economic and region il-disparities. It also aims at providing minimum needs such as elementary education, drinking water, health care and house-sites or houses to the weaker sections of the society.
