Five Year Plan in India is finally approved by
- AUnion Cabinet
- BPresident on the advice of Prime Minister
- CPlanning Commission
- DNational Development CouncilCorrect
Explanation
The National Development Council is the correct answer because it was established as the apex body for decision making and deliberations on development matters in India. While the Planning Commission was responsible for drafting the Five Year Plans, the final authority to approve and endorse these plans rested with the National Development Council. This council included the Prime Minister, Union Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers of all states, and representatives of Union Territories to ensure a federal approach to national planning. Therefore, the plan became an official national document only after the approval of the National Development Council.
