Q97 (IAS/2009) Economy › Growth, Development, Poverty & Employment › Inclusive growth strategies Answer Verified

Inclusive growth as enunciated in the 11th Five Year Plan does not include one, of the following:

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Eleventh Plan’s notion of inclusive growth is defined as “a growth process which yields broad‑based benefits and ensures equality of opportunity for all,” emphasizing equitable development and social justice [1]. The Plan explicitly highlights objectives such as faster reduction of poverty, narrowing income and regional disparities, reducing vertical and horizontal inequalities (including gender), ensuring access to basic services, and generating high‑quality employment for large numbers of people [2]. By contrast, strengthening the capital market is not presented as an objective of inclusive growth in the Eleventh Plan; it is a financial‑sector reform/market objective rather than a direct component of the Plan’s inclusiveness agenda. Hence option 3 is not included.
