520			_aTwo of the principal issues of planning are the determination of priorities and the optimum utilisation of resources. History was created when India launched the system of comprehensive planning for eco nomic development by the democratic method. This book traces and analyses the six Five Year Plans that have been implemented progressively since 1951, logically and objectively, and also examines the objectives, broad outlines, outlays, resources, methodologies, achievements and failures of each. Amongst the many highlights of the book are the chapters on Annual Plans and the 20-point Programme, a comprehensive flashback of Planning under the Janata Government, and the formidable handicaps being faced by the Sixth Plan. An overall assessment of planning and the current economic situation is included along with a concise yet exhaustive exposure of all relevant information and statistical data. The book will be found indispensable by students of economics and commerce at the graduate and postgraduate levels. The vast body of conscious, general readers I will also benefit from the author's lucid style and the chronologically laid out contents.
