    Third Plan (1961–1966)
    The Third Five-year Plan, known as "Gadgil Yojna", stressed upon agriculture and improvement in the production of wheat. Various factors like, the Sino-Indian War of 1962 (exposed weaknesses in the economy and shifted the focus towards the defence), Indo-Pak war of1965–1966, severe drought in 1965; made it diificult to achieve the desired growth rate of the third five year plan.
