Answer:
C. 5th Five Year Plan
Explanation:
Garibi Hatao (Meaning “Abolish Poverty” in Hindi) was the theme and slogan of Indira Gandhi’s 1971 election bid. The slogan and the proposed anti-poverty programs that came with it were designed to give Gandhi an independent national support, based on rural and urban poor. The fifth plan prepared and launched by D.D. Dhar proposed to achieve two main objectives viz, ‘removal of poverty’ (Garibi Hatao) and ‘attainment of self reliance’, through promotion of high rate of growth, better distribution of income and a very significant growth in the domestic rate of savings.
