Q1. The outline of the Second Five Year Plan was prepared by:
A B. N. Gadgil
B P. C. Mahalanobis Correct
C V. K. R. V. Rao
D C. N. Vakil
Explanation
P. C. Mahalanobis is associated with the strategy and outline of the Second Five Year Plan, which emphasised heavy industries and rapid industrialisation. B. N. Gadgil was a major political and planning figure but is not credited with framing this plan's outline. V. K. R. V. Rao was an eminent economist and educationist, not the architect of the Second Plan model. C. N. Vakil is known for economic thought, including wage-goods-related ideas, but the Second Plan's core framework is linked to Mahalanobis.
