Failures of Planning

(1):- The central theme of planning was the eradication of poverty, but a large part of India's population is still living below the poverty line.

(2):- Despite the creation of more and more employment opportunities during the schemes, the problem of unemployment has not reduced. The problems of educated unemployment, disguised unemployment and under-employment exist on a large scale in India.

(3):- Even today the development of infrastructure (which includes electricity,roads,dams, bridges, schools, universities, hospitals, railways, ports etc.) is insufficient in India.

(4):-Economic and social equality, the main goals of planning were accepted, but the irony is that the problem of inequality continued to deepen even during the period of planning.

(5):-There has been a tendency for people's real incomes to decrease due to ever-increasing inflation and due to this the gap in the economic divide between the rich and the poor has started widening.
