Correct Answer: Fifth Five-Year Plan


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Fifth Five-Year Plan.

The Fifth Five-Year Plan in India, spanning from 1974 to 1979, focused on addressing poverty, unemployment, and regional disparities through integrated rural development strategies. The plan aimed to improve the living conditions of rural communities and promote balanced economic growth.

As part of the Fifth Five-Year Plan, the Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP) was launched in 1978. The IRDP aimed to uplift rural households and reduce poverty by providing them with income-generating assets, credit, and technical support.

The IRDP was designed to address the multifaceted challenges faced by rural communities and promote their socio-economic development. It aimed to create employment opportunities, increase rural income, and improve the overall quality of life in rural areas.
