CONCLUSION
 

In our Introduction we have referred to the process of consulta- tion and discussion which has preceded the preparation of the Plan which we now submit to the Government. In preparing this Plan we have acted in close co-operation with the Ministries of the Central Govern- ment and the Governments of the States and with leaders of opinion and representatives of different interests in the country. Although the task of drawing up a plan of development has been in some measure concluded, we are conscious that planning is a continuing process and from time to time adjustments in policy and programmes will be needed. The submission of the Plan marks, however, a stage in the journey, and prepares the way for the harnessing of the nation's effort and re- sources for the fulfilment of the Plan.
