Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Develop the economy of India

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The immediate challenge for India after independence was to control the communal riots, which broke out in several parts of northern India following the partition of India. Other challenges were to establish a system of democracy in India. This was done by conducting first general elections in 1951-52. Along with this, the major challenge was to carve out the path of economic development for the country. The Planning Commission was set up in 1950, keeping this in priority.
