खालीलपैकी कोणते भारतीय नियोजनाचे वैशिष्ट्य नाही ?

The correct answer is Option D (Socialistic Planning).

Key Points:
• Nature and Features of Indian Economic Planning:
• Indian planning operates under a mixed economy framework within a democratic setup (Democratic Planning).
• Indicative Planning: Adopted formally from the 8th Five-Year Plan (1992) onwards to encourage the private sector.
• Physical Planning & Social Planning: Plans set physical targets (tons of steel, megawatts of power) and targeted social sectors (education, health, poverty alleviation).
• Socialistic Planning (Command / Imperative Planning): In absolute socialistic planning, private property and free markets are completely abolished, and all production decisions are mandated by the state. India opted for a 'Socialistic pattern of society', but never adopted rigid, totalitarian socialistic command planning.
• Hence, 'Socialistic Planning' is not a feature of Indian planning.
• Key Takeaway: India practices democratic and indicative planning in a mixed economy; it does not follow rigid socialistic/command planning.
