After gaining independence in 1947, India put emphasis on agriculture. Jawaharlal Nehru's main goal was to make India's economy self - reliant. Then the planners started giving importance to industrialization.
The successive Five Year Plans introduced by the government gave more importance to agriculture and funds were arranged accordingly.
In the Second Year Plan (1956-1961), priority was given to the Mahalanobis Model which advocated an economy with two sectors, each producing capital and consumer goods. It gave importance to heavy industries. It also aimed to eliminate the principle of importing goods from other countries.
