Q. Consider the following statements regarding Shriman Narayan Agarwal's "Gandhian Plan" (1944):

1. It emphasized rural industrialization based on cottage and small-scale industries.
2. It promoted self-sufficiency and decentralization of the economy.
3. It sought rapid urban industrialization with large-scale heavy industries.
4. It aligned more closely with Gandhian ideals than with Visvesvaraya's vision.

Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer: 1, 2 and 4 only
Notes: Shriman Narayan Agarwal's Gandhian Plan (1944) advocated rural industrialization through cottage and small-scale industries, economic decentralization, and self-sufficiency, closely reflecting Gandhian principles. It did not seek rapid urban industrialization or focus on large-scale heavy industries, differing from Visvesvaraya's model. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct; statement 3 is incorrect.
