INTRODUCTION

The Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012) began in very favourable circumstances with the economy having grown at a rate of 7.7% per year in the Tenth Plan period.

However, far too many people in the country still lacked the basic requirements for a decent living in terms of nutrition standards, access to education and basic health, and also to other public services such as water supply and sewerage.

Disadvantaged groups, especially the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and the minorities had benefited less than they should have.

Regional imbalances had emerged across and even within states.

The Eleventh Plan sought to remedy these deficiencies by seeking to accelerate the pace of growth while also making it more inclusive.

The growth objective was to achieve an average growth rate of 9% per annum for the Plan period.

BUDGET

The total public sector outlay in the Eleventh Plan (both Centre and States and including their Public Sector Enterprises) was estimated at Rs. 3644718 crores.

Of this total, the share of the Centre

(including the plans of Public SectorEnterprises) was to amount to Rs. 2156571 crores.

while that of the States and Union Territories (UTs) was to be Rs. 1488147 crores.
