Q. Consider the following pairs:
  1. Industry and Transport Plan – Second Five Year Plan
  2. Gadgil Yojana – Sixth Five Year Plan
  3. Rolling Plan – Eighth Five Year Plan
Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
Answer: Only 1
Notes: The Industry and Transport Plan refers to the Second Five Year Plan, which emphasized rapid industrialization. The Gadgil formula (often called Gadgil Yojana) was formulated for the Fourth Plan, not the Sixth. The Rolling Plan was implemented in place of the Fifth Plan, not the Eighth. Therefore, only the first pair is correctly matched.
