What to Focus On
- Development has different meanings for different social groups — industrialists, urban consumers, tribals/Adivasis, environmentalists, and governments all define it differently.
- Development decisions are political because they involve trade-offs between competing interests.
- In a democracy, major development decisions require public consultation and approval by elected representatives.
- Two main development models post-WWII: Liberal-Capitalist (West/USA) and Socialist (USSR).
- India's leaders were more inclined towards the Socialist model due to the USSR's impressive industrial growth.
- 'Left' politics favors state control and economic regulation; 'Right' politics favors free markets and minimal state intervention.
- Universal consensus post-independence: development required government planning, not just private enterprise.
- Global factors reinforcing planning: Great Depression, post-war reconstruction, Soviet success with five-year plans.
- Bombay Plan (1944): Major Indian industrialists themselves proposed state-directed planning — showing planning was supported across political spectrum.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The Planning Commission was a constitutional body created by the Constitution of India.
Indian industrialists and the private sector were always opposed to planned development and state intervention in the economy.
The First Five Year Plan focused on rapid industrialisation, especially heavy industries.

NITI Aayog replaced Planning Commission on 1 January 2015
