The principal reason why national economic planning is still being pursued inspite of embracing a market economy since 1991 is that:
(a) the vast quantity of capital already deployed in the public sector needs to be nurtured
(b) the market economy is mainly confined to industry and commerce and central planning in agriculture is necessary
(c) it is a constitutional requirement
(d) Five Year Plans can continue to provide a long-term perspective to the economy in market friendly fashions
