    Solution

    The Eleventh Five-Year Plan (2007-2012) specifically emphasized "inclusive growth" as its central theme. Under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government and with economist Montek Singh Ahluwalia's guidance, this plan focused on reducing poverty, addressing regional disparities, and enhancing access to essential services like education and healthcare. It prioritized human development indicators and implemented significant welfare programs, including healthcare insurance initiatives and educational reforms, with the objective of extending economic benefits to all societal segments, particularly disadvantaged populations.
