<br/><br/> "Systematic work on development planning in India started with the setting up of the Planning Commission in 1950 and with the formulation of the First Five-Year Plan in 1951. Since much of development planning is a response to current political and social problems, it is pertinent to know what new developments took place in India since 1951 to develop the idea of development planning in the country. In this it is intended to review the course taken by Indian Development Planning since its inception till date, in the context of uncertainty surrounding it, of late. India in all fairness, is to be viewed as the leader of development planning among the LDCs, and the story of history of it, which is quite holding, needs to be told and re-told. The Nation owes a lot of its whatever development to planning, not withstanding its denigration recently"
