The Second Five-Year Plan (1956–61) focused on rapid industrialization with an emphasis on heavy industries. Drafted by P.C. Mahalanobis, it aimed for an annual growth rate of 4.5%, although actual achievements fell slightly short of this target. Key Points: 1. The Mahalanobis model prioritized heavy industries and public sector expansion. 2. The Plan introduced the concept of "Nehruvian socialism." 3. Agriculture received secondary importance compared to industries. 4. The target growth rate was ambitious for the time. 5. It laid the foundation for India’s self-reliance in industrial sectors.
