The resource base of a country consists of human resources,
non-renewable resources which are an endowment of nature and whose
total size gets depleted with time and renewable resources which
can be continuously created and whose base can be expanded through
human efforts. Economic planning is concerned with the effective
and optimal utilisation of the potential resources of an economy.
This is particularly so in the context of underdeveloped countries
which are striving to raise the standard of living of the masses.
In fact, planning is a process aiming not merely at the best
utilisation of material resources but also at the development of
human faculties and institutional framework suitable to the needs
and aspirations of the people. The establishment of Planning
Commission in 1950 heralded a new era in the economic history of
India. It makes an assessment of the material, capital and human
resources of the country, including technical personnel, and
investigates the possibilities of augmenting such of these
resources as are found to be deficient in relation to the nation's
requirements. It, then, formulates a Plan for the most effective
and balanced utilisation of the country's resources. India's First
Five Year Plan was launched on April 1, 1951. Since then, ten Five
Year Plans have been completed and the Eleventh Five Year Plan
(2007-08 to 2011-12) is underway. Part I of the book deals with
human and natural resources of India, principles of economic
planning, institutional framework of economic planning in India,
and assessment of India's experience with economic planning. Part
II provides summary of each Five Year Plan (First Plan to Eleventh
Plan) under the following 13 common theme headings: Plan at a
Glance; Agriculture and Rural Development; Industry and
Infrastructure; Mineral Resources; Electricity and Other Renewable
Energy Sources; Urban Development and Housing; Transport and
Communications; Employment and Labour Welfare; Health, Family
Planning and Nutrition; Education, Training and Skill Formation;
Science and Technology; Social Welfare; and, Balanced Regional
Development. Part III contains sector-wise time-series statistics
on the Indian economy from 1950-51 to 2009-10. Part IV of the book
comprises glossary of economic planning and a list of English
equivalents of select Hindi terms used in Plan Documents.
