First plan(1951 to 56)

It was based on Harrod-Damor model

Community development programme was launched in 1952
Emphasised technical, price stability, power and transport
It was more than a success, because of good are blessed in the
last two years
Second plan(1956 to 61)
Also called Mahalanobis plan after its chief architect.
Its objective was rapid industrialisation
Advocated use imports which led to emptying of funds leading to
foreign loans. It shifted basic emphasis from agriculture to industry
far too soon. During this plan, price level increased by 30% against
a decline of 13% during the first plan
Third plan(1961 to 66)
At its conception time, it was felt that Indian economy has entered
it takeoff stage. Therefore, a was to make India a self reliant and
self generating economy.
Also, it was realised from the experience of first two planes that
agriculture could be given the top priority to suffice the
requirements of export and industry.
Complete failure due to unforeseen misfortunes viz. Chinese
aggression(1962), Indo Pak war (1962) , Indo Pak war (1965 ),
Seve rest drought to 100 years (1965 to 66)
Three annual plans(1966 to
69)
Plan holiday for three years. The prevailing crisis in agriculture
and serious food shortage necessitated the emphasis on agriculture
during the annual plans.
During these plans a whole new agriculture strategy involving
widespread of distribution of highly-yielding varieties of seeds, the
extensive use of fertilisers, exploitation of irrigation potential and
soil conservation was put into action to tide over the crisis in
agriculture production.
During the annual plans, the economy basically absorbed the
shocks given during the third plan, making way for a planned
growth
Fourth plan(1969 to 74)
Main emphasis on agriculture's growth rate so that chain reaction
can start
Fared well in the first two years with record production, last three
years failure cause of poor monsoon.
Had to tackle the influx of Bangladeshi refugees before and after
1971 Indo Pak war
Fifth plan (1974 to 79 )
the fifth plan repaired and launched by D.D Dhar proposed to
achieve two main objectives viz removal of poverty(Garibi Hatao)
and attainment of self reliance, through promotion of high rate,
better distribution of income and a very significant growth in the
domestic rate of saving.
the plan was terminated in 1978 (instead of 1979 ) when Janta
government came to the power.
Rolling plan(1978 to 80)
there were two sixth plans. One by Genta government.(For 78 to
73) which was in operation for two years only and the other by
Congress government when it returned to power in 1980
the Janta government plan is also called Rolling plan
Sixth plan(1980 to 85)
Objectives: Increase in national income, modernisation of
technology, ensuring continuous decrease in poverty and
unemployment, population control through family planning etc.
Seventh plan(1985 to 90)
The seventh plan emphasized policies and programmes which
aimed at rapid growth in food grains production, increased
employment opportunities and productivity within the framework of
basic tenants of planning.
It was a great success, the economy recorded 6% growth rate
against the targeted 5%
Eighth plan(1992 to 97)
The eighth plan was postponed by two years because of political
upheavals at the Centre and it was launched after a worsening
balance of payment position and inflation during 1990-91
the plan undertook various drastic policy measures to combat the
bad economic situation and to undertake an annual average growth
of 5.6%
Some of the main economic performance during eighth plan period
were rapid economic growth, high growth in exports and imports,
improvement in trade and current account deficit.
Ninth plan(1997 to 2002)
It was developed in the context of four important dimensions:
quality of life, generation of productive employment, a regional
balance and self-reliance.
Tenth plan (2002 to 2007)
Its objectives included achieving the growth rate of 8%, reduction
of poverty ratio to 20% by 2007 and 210% by 2012, universal
access to primary education by 2007, increase in literacy rate to
72% within the plan period and to 80% by 2012
Eleventh plan(2007 to 2012)
Accelerate growth rate of GDP from 8% to 10% and then
maintain at 10% in the 12th plan in order to double per capita
income by 2016-17
Increase agricultural GDP growth rate of 4% per year to ensure a
broader spread of benefits.
Reduce dropout rates of children from elementary school from
52.2% in 2003-04 to 20% by 2011-12
Increase the literacy rate for persons of faith seven years or more
to 85%
reduce infant mortality rate(MR) 28 and maternal mortality
ratio(MMR) to 1 part 1000 live births.
raise the sex ratio for age group 0-6 to 935 by 2011-12 and to
950 by 2016-17
Ensure electricity connection to all village and BPL households by
2009 and the round-the-clock power by the end of the plan
increase forest and free cover by the five percentage points

Ques: What will happen if a shunt motor running at no load has its shunt winding
opened accidentally?
Ans: If a shunt motor, running at no load, has its shunt field suddenly opened or burnt out, the
back emf. will fall to nearly zero. The armature current will continuously increase the speed
of the motor until its parts fly apart.
Ques: What will happen if the shunt field winding of a loaded shunt motor accidentally
breaks?
Ans: If the shunt winding of a loaded motor accidentally breaks, the loss of shunt field
current would result in stopping of the motor or burn out the armature or fuse.
