Who was Prime Minister of India during Eighth five year plan?
P.V. Narsimha Rao
The question asks who was Prime Minister during the Eighth Five Year Plan, so we match the plan's period to the leader in office.
The Eighth Five Year Plan ran from 1992 to 1997 and focused on economic liberalisation, human resource development and strengthening infrastructure.
Its start was delayed by the political and economic turmoil of 1990-91, and it began after P.V. Narasimha Rao's government took charge.
P.V. Narasimha Rao served as Prime Minister from 1991 to 1996 and, with Finance Minister Manmohan Singh, launched the landmark 1991 economic reforms that opened up the Indian economy.
Morarji Desai, Indira Gandhi and Chaudhary Charan Singh had all held the office in earlier decades, well before the Eighth Plan's 1992-97 window.
Since the plan's period falls squarely within Rao's tenure, he is the leader in question.
Hence, the answer is P.V. Narsimha Rao.
