NEW DELHI-Tinkering with Fifth Plan

NEW DELHI Tinkering with Fifth Plan B M AFTER a prolonged interval, there is some revival of activity in Yojana Bha- van. The Prime Minister has at last been persuaded to show some interest in the labours of the planners. She has agreed to a full meeting of the Planning Commission in August under her chairmanship. This is a much-needed morale booster for those working in Yojana Blmvan. The exact date for the meeting is, however, yet to be fixed. Meanwhile, the emergence of fresh pressure on prices has created fresh doubts and uncertainty. But it is fervently hoped among the planners that the price problem will be effectively tackled in the prevailing overall economic and political environment and will not be allowed to once again raise fresh obstacles in the way of their al- together belated effort to give final shape to the Fifth Plan.
