Solution

The correct option is A First

The first five-year plan was presented in the parliament by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in December 1951. This plan promoted the idea of self-reliant closed economy and was developed by Prof. P. C. Mahalanobis. The plan had heavily borrowed ideas from USSR’s five-year plans developed by Domer. Due to this, the first five-year plan is also called Domer-Mahalanobis Model. In this plan, highest priority was given to the Agriculture, Irrigation and Power Projects.
