AnswerClick to flip back
A
1978
💡 Explanation:
India adopted the rolling plan concept for the first time in 1978. The rolling plan was introduced by the Janata Party government after coming to power in 1977, abandoning the fixed Five Year Plan approach. The Fifth Five Year Plan was terminated early, and the rolling plan (1978-80) was adopted as a more flexible planning mechanism that could be adjusted annually based on performance and changing circumstances.
