Eighth Five-Year Plan (1992-97)


The period between 1990 and 1995 was the period of annual plan. There was a major change in the industrial policy of the Government of India which was initiated in 1991. The policy of liberalisation was adopted for the investment of foreign multi-nationals. Emphasis was given on the removal of regional imbalances and encouraging the growth of employment in small and tiny sectors.
