Agriculture
Agriculture in the current plan period has grown at 3.3 percent,
compared to 2.4 percent during the 10th plan period. The growth target
for manufacturing sector has been pegged at 10 percent.
Infrastructure
The document stresses the importance of infrastructure development,
especially in the power sector, and removal of bottlenecks for high
growth and inclusiveness. It also sets targets for various economic and
social sectors relating to poverty alleviation, infant mortality,
enrolment ratio and job creation.
Poverty
On poverty alleviation, the commission plans to bring down the poverty
ratio by 10 percent. At present, the poverty is around 30 per cent of
the population.
Health and Education
According to commission Deputy Chairperson Montek Singh Ahluwalia,
health and education sectors are major thrust areas and the outlays for
these in the plan have been raised.
The outlay on health would include increased spending in related areas of drinking water and sanitation.
The commission had accepted Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's suggestion
that direct cash transfer of subsidies in food, fertilizers and
petroleum be made by the end of the 12th Plan period.
Direct cash transfers would bring down the government's subsidy burden
as the money would go directly to the "genuine" beneficiaries and "plug
leakages" in the implementation of these schemes.
After the cabinet clearance, the plan for its final approval would be
placed before the National Development Council (NDC), which has all
chief ministers and cabinet ministers as members and is headed by the
Prime Minister.
