7th Five Year Plan 1984-90 Tamil Nadu

Abstract

From Foreword: India has chosen the path of formalised planning for increasing the production of goods and services, making the best use of country’s resources and ensuring that the wealth so created is distributed among the people, in as equitable a manner as possible. The successive Five-Year Plans aiming to remove poverty have yielded some results, though not to the expected levels. The efforts to combat the scourge of poverty and disease have to be on a continuing basis without any let up. Having achieved significant results during the Sixth Plan in reducing the levels of poverty, the attention during the Seventh Plan will be on consolidating the gains and making further inroads.
