Cevap

Eighth Five-Year Plan (1992–1997)
With the introduction of structural economic reforms in 1991, India moved away from rigid command-style economic planning. The Eighth Five-Year Plan (1992–1997) formally recognized this change by adopting 'indicative planning', where the state sets broad developmental targets and creates enabling infrastructure while leaving market forces to allocate resources in most productive sectors.
