Which of the following is not an objective of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan?
- AZero fiscal deficit by 2015
- BSustainable growth
- CFaster growth
- DInclusive growth
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Zero fiscal deficit by 2015
Explanation
The theme of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2012–17) was "Faster, More Sustainable and More Inclusive Growth", with a growth target of 8% a year. So faster growth, sustainable growth and inclusive growth were all its objectives.
Zero fiscal deficit by 2015 was never an objective: the plan aimed to reduce the fiscal deficit, not to remove it. The Twelfth Plan was the last one; NITI Aayog replaced the Planning Commission in 2015.
