Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The Twelfth Plan ran from 2012 to 2017 and was the last one.
No Thirteenth Plan was drawn up, because the Planning Commission had been replaced two years before it would have begun.
NITI Aayog works through documents with different horizons instead of a single five-year plan.
Worth noting
The plans were not unbroken. There were three annual plans between 1966 and 1969, a stretch sometimes called the plan holiday.
