Which of the following was NOT the goal of five year plans in India?
Dependency on foreign aid
The question asks which of the given options was NOT an objective of India's Five Year Plans.
The four broadly accepted long-term goals of the Five Year Plans were growth, modernisation, self-reliance and equity (social justice).
Growth refers to increasing the country's capacity to produce goods and services and raise national income.
Modernisation means adopting new technology and changing social outlook to improve productivity.
Equity ensures that the benefits of economic prosperity reach all sections of society and reduce inequality.
Self-reliance, in fact, aimed to REDUCE dependence on foreign aid and imports; therefore 'dependency on foreign aid' is the opposite of a planning goal.
Since dependency on foreign aid was never a goal but something the plans sought to avoid, the answer is Dependency on foreign aid.
