Answer 1

Answer: (A)

To generate more employment oppurtunities

After the worsening situation of balance of payment and inflation during 1990-91, the eighth five year plan was launched in 1992. The main focus was generation of adequate employment to achieve full employment level as it was realised that the problem of poverty could not be tackled through growth alone.
