The 11th plan document entitled “Towards Faster and More Inclusive Growth” gave priority to: agriculture, irrigation, andwaterresourc.es, education, health, infrastructure, and employment, along with programmes for SCs/STs, other backward classes, minorities, women and children. Government has realised that in recent years although economic growth has accelerated but it has failed to be ‘inclusive’. In other words benefits of growth have not reached all sections of population particularly small farmers, landless labourers and persons working in unorganised sector have remained beyond the benefits of development.
Eleventh plan stresses that benefits of development should reach all sections of population. This plan emphasizes on social justice. Eleventh plan recognizes that we need a growth process that brings faster reduction in poverty, generate employment and ensures essential services such as health, and education to all sections of the society.
