Govt set to replace Nehru's five-year plans with 15-year vision documents

13 May 2016 Evaluate

Abandoning the ancient concept of five-year plans, the government has decided to come up with a 15-year vision document in tandem with global trends and economic growth.  This will also include internal security and defence that has been not a part of the five year plan. The long-term vision document will formulate various ways through which India can achieve its broader social objectives to meet the UNDP’s 2030 sustainable goals and will be a roadmap on transformation required in the planning system to sync it with the 14th Finance Commission recommendations. The move comes just three months after finance minister Arun Jaitley hinted in his budget speech that the government will abandon the plan and non-plan distinction from 2017-18, indicating that the five-year plan process will end with the 12th five-year plan (2012-17).

The first 15-year vision document will start from 2017-18, along with a seven-year National Development Agenda which will lay down the schemes, programmes and strategies to achieve the long-term vision. National Development Agenda will be reviewed after a gap of every three years to ensure that it was aligned with financial needs and requirements. For the first Development Agenda, the review would be done in 2019-20, in line with the termination year of the 14th Finance Commission. The NITI Aayog will create a dashboard for constant monitoring, evaluation and reviewing and also fix up outcome targets for all major schemes of infrastructure and social sectors. A plan for the current financial year would be submitted to the Prime Minister's Office by later this month.

The Five-Year Plans were started by Jawahar Lal Nehru in 1951. Since then India had 12 such programs ensured an integrated approach to national economic programs. However, the Modi government felt that the Planning Commission and the five-year-plans have outlived their utility.
