Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
From 1947 to 2017, the Indian economy was premised on the concept of planning. This was carried through the Five-Year Plans, developed, executed, and monitored by the Planning Commission (1951-2014) and the NITI Aayog (2015-2017). With the prime minister as the ex-officio chairman, the commission has a nominated deputy chairman, who holds the rank of a cabinet minister. Montek Singh Ahluwalia is the last deputy chairman of the commission (resigned on 26 May 2014). The Twelfth Plan completed its term in March 2017.[1] Prior to the Fourth Plan, the allocation of state resources was based on schematic patterns rather than a transparent and objective mechanism, which led to the adoption of the Gadgil formula in 1969. Revised versions of the formula have been used since then to determine the allocation of central assistance for state plans.[2] The new government led by Narendra Modi, elected in 2014, has announced the dissolution of the Planning Commission, and its replacement by a think tank called the NITI Aayog (an acronym for National Institution for Transforming India).
Answer:
Four serious challenges to the success of a planning scheme are:
(i) Since a planning scheme moves from top to bottom, it gets obstructed at various levels before it reaches to the target area and people. Inspite of relatively higher economic development, India continue to run behind in terms of social advancement.
(ii) Our country has the largest concentration of poor, malnutritioned and illiterate persons. These serious challenges can not be managed through governmental or some non-governmental agency level but one requires effective partipation and co-operation of the local people.
(iii) People wish and plan that roads reach to their doors steps, every child studies in a school, they have power and potable water, they have water to irrigate their fields and markets to sell their local products.
(iv) Infrastructure related to health and education can ensure people's awareness, effective partipation and mobilization for the success of planning scheme.
