Extract

Objective

This paper reports findings of a study of how India has planned her agricultural exports, the problems she has encountered, and the lessons she has learned in the process of value to other developing countries. The problems and lessons are discussed in detail after a general overview of India's planning system and trade situation.

Introduction

India gained independence in 1947 and has since followed a socialistic economic policy. Such a policy has proven rather difficult, however, due to a lack of government finances and ownership of most means of production. To help make and implement her economic policies, the Indian government has established a planning commission. It is responsible for drawing up the country's five-year plans and seeing they are implemented by the government's various executive ministries. India is currently in her fourth five-year plan (1969–1974).
