    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (a) 1966–1969
    · The Plan Holiday period in India was from 1966 to 1969, between the Third and Fourth Five-Year Plans.
    · It occurred due to economic crisis, food shortage, and wars (1962 and 1965).
    · Instead of a formal plan, the government launched annual plans for 3 years.
    · This allowed flexibility to deal with agriculture and industrial setbacks.
    · It was a response to failure of the Third Plan.
    · The Fourth Five-Year Plan began in 1969.
    Information Booster:
    Devaluation of rupee and droughts impacted planning.
    • The Green Revolution began during this time.
    • Annual Plans were also used after 1978–1980 and 1990–1992.
    • Managed by Planning Commission, now replaced by NITI Aayog.
    • Five-Year Planning started in 1951.
    • India adopted Mixed Economy model during Nehru era.

    1966–1971 – Includes part of Fourth Plan.
    1965–1968 – Misses the start of Plan Holiday officially.
