India has been trying to develop its economy policy and cultural conditions through five year plans. India has a full fledged Planning Commission which has different departments which look after the planning and implementation of the various programmes prepared by the full Planning Commission. So far India has implemented ten 5 year plans in a period of 50 years. Through the five year plans it has been possible to prepare model of development in all the sectors and they have been implemented by the Bureaucracy of India.
