The correct answer is

Harrod-Domar Model

India's First Five-Year Plan (1951-56), drafted under the Planning Commission with K.N. Raj among its leading planners, gave top priority to agriculture, irrigation and power.

It was based on the Harrod-Domar growth model, which links the growth rate of an economy to its savings (investment) rate and the capital-output ratio.

The Mahalanobis model, influenced by the Feldman model, guided the Second Plan with its focus on heavy industry, while the Lewis dual-sector model is a theory of surplus labour, not the basis of the First Plan.

Hence, Harrod-Domar Model.
