Cevap

The correct matches are: First Five-Year Plan matches with development of agriculture, irrigation, and power projects; Second Five-Year Plan matches with rapid industrialization focusing on heavy and basic industries; 1991 Economic Reforms match with structural reforms based on Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization (LPG); NITI Aayog matches with fostering cooperative federalism and bottom-up policy advice as a policy think tank.
Each economic milestone corresponds directly to its defined core focus: the First Five-Year Plan addressed agricultural and irrigation capacity; the Second Plan targeted heavy industrialization under the Mahalanobis framework; the 1991 structural reforms introduced Liberalization, Privatization, and Globalization; and NITI Aayog serves as a policy think tank advocating cooperative federalism and bottom-up planning.
