2. Planning In India: On 26 January 1950, the Constitution came into force. As a logical sequence , the Planning Commission was set up on 15 March 1950 and the plan era started from 1 April 1951 with the launching of the First Five Year Plan (1951-56). We have successfully completed twelve five year plans in the year 2017 . Now the new government at centre has decided to abandon the planning and have changed the structure of Planning Commission ,now it will be known as NITI Aayog .

3. What is Plan? Plan in Planning commission is defined as: Spells out how the resources of a nation should be put to use. Has some general goals as well as specific objectives, which are to be achieved within a specified period of time. Unrealistic to expect all the goals of a plan to be given equal importance in all the plans.

4. Why to Plan? After independence, India was in dire conditions and needed to start acting soon. Some of the problems necessitated need for an immediate plan: Vicious circle of poverty Foreign Trade Need for Rapid industrialization Population pressure Development of Natural resources Backward Population Capital Deficiency Market imperfections

5. Objectives of Planning: Central objective - raise the standard of living of the people To increase per capita and NI Higher level of employment Growth with social justice Increasing industrial output To remove bottlenecks in agriculture, manufacturing industry Reduction of inequality in income Modernization Self- reliance

6. Characteristics of Planning: Major economic decisions are determined by a central authority, through the planning commission. The government will have the powers of implementation. The planners fix the targets for the sectors and also decide how much investment must be made in each sector to achieve the targets.

7. Planning Commission: After independence, the Planning Commission was set up by the Government of India in March 1950. The Commission was instructed to: To make an assessment of the material capital and human resources of the country, and formulate a plan for the most effective and balanced utilization of them; To determine priorities, define the stages for carrying the plan and propose the allocation of resources for the due completion of each stage; To act as an advisory body to the Union Government; determine the conditions which (in view of the then current sociopolitical conditions ) should be established for the execution of the plan . T o advise the Centre and the state governments.

8. National Development Council: a) All the plans made by planning commission have to be approved by NDC first. It was constituted to build cooperation between States and the Planning Commission. b) Like Planning Commission NDC is also an extra constitutional body, legal body . c) It was set-up on 6th August 1952 State Planning Boards is the Apex Planning body at State Level with Chief minister as Chairman, Finance and Planning Ministers of the state and some technical members.

22. FINANCE COMMISION AND NITI AAYOG: Finance Commission is a Constitutional body with the broad mandate to define the center-state fiscal relations. Its most important task is to recommend the division of tax revenues collected by the Center called the “divisible pool” between the Center and States and the share to be allocated to each State . An important recommendation of FFC is the devolution of a signifcantly higher share of 42% of the divisible pool to States compared with the 32% share recommended by the Thirteenth Finance commission. The horizontal devolution formula recommended by the 14th Finance Commission. Focus on local bodies.

23. Conclusion: Economic planning help in mobilizing and allocating the resources in desired manner. Objective of economic planning is to reduce inequality, economic growth, balanced regional growth, modernization. Each five year plan aims to achieving certain target. Five year plan constitute the steps toward the fulfillment of objectives of economic planning. But most of the Plans could not achieve the targets.  The 12th Plan has taken off; it is yet to be formally approved with the aim of the growth rate at 8%.
