What is self-reliance, and why was it considered an imperative goal of planning in India?

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Answer: A.

  • Planning for self-reliance aimed to build a strong domestic industrial base, promote import substitution where feasible, mobilise local resources and expand employment.
