The main objective of the 12th Five-Year Plan is
A
inclusive growth and poverty reduction
B
inclusive and sustainable growth
C
sustainable and inclusive growth to reduce unemployment
D
faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth
Correct Answer
Explanation
Option (D) is correct because the official title and primary objective of the 12th Five-Year Plan (2012–2017) was "Faster, More Inclusive and Sustainable Growth." Option (B) is the most tempting distractor but is incomplete as it omits the "faster" growth component, which was a specific addition to distinguish the 12th Plan's goals from the 11th Plan's focus on "faster and more inclusive growth." The core concept being tested is the specific thematic evolution and policy priorities of India’s centralized planning documents.
