First Soviet plan commenced in 1928 but the world outside was unaware
of modus operandi of development plan till the 1930s. It was exodus of the east
European economists to Britain and USA in 1920s and 1930s that made the
world aware as to what economic/national planning was all about.
The whole decade of 1930s in the Indian history when we see nationalists,
capitalists, socialists, democrats and academicians advocating for the need of an
economic planning in India at point or another. Independent India was thus
destined to be a planned Economy.
Background
Many fresh proposals of planning were being suggested for India by 1930s
but British govt. remained almost immune to them. These humble proposals of
planning served their purpose once independent India decided to adopt the
planned economy.
Peoples Plan
This plan was proposed in 1945 by radical humanist leader MN Roy. The
plan was based on Marxist socialism and advocated the need of providing the
people with the basic necessities of life. Agriculture and Industrial sector,
both are equally highlighted by the plan. Many economists have attributed the
socialist leaning of Indian planning to this plan. The common minimum program
of the United Front Government of mid nineties and that of UPA of 2004 may also
be thought to have been inspired from this program.
