    Question

    Which period in India is described as Plan Holiday?

    A.

    1990 to 1993

    B.

    1966 to 1969

    C.

    1956 to 1960

    D.

    1947 to 1950
     

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) 1966 to 1969
    The period described as "Plan Holiday" in India was from 1966 to 1969. This term refers to a three-year hiatus between the third and fourth Five-Year Plans. The Indian government took this break primarily due to severe economic difficulties, including a shortfall in food production, inflation, and the impact of wars with China and Pakistan. Instead of launching a new Five-Year Plan immediately after the third, the government introduced annual plans to stabilize the economy.
