Which plan introduced Minimum Needs Programme?
Fifth
The Minimum Needs Programme (MNP) was launched in the first year of the Fifth Five-Year Plan (1974–1979) to provide a national network of basic social services in rural and underserved areas.
Its key components included elementary education, rural health, rural water supply, rural roads, rural electrification, nutrition, environmental improvement of urban slums, and houses for landless labourers. The programme was designed to translate the “Garibi Hatao” vision into measurable improvements in living standards.
Hence MNP was introduced in the Fifth Plan — option (3).
