The correct answer is B Draught of 1966.
Here's why:
- The Third Five-Year Plan (1961-1966) faced significant challenges including the China-India war of 1962 and the Pakistan war of 1965. These events strained the economy and diverted resources towards defense.
- However, the most significant reason for the "plan holiday" (1966-1969) was the severe drought of 1966. This led to a major agricultural crisis, food shortages, and widespread economic disruption.
While the wars of 1962 and 1965 had an impact, the immediate trigger for the postponement of the Fourth Five-Year Plan and the adoption of annual plans (the "plan holiday") was the agricultural devastation caused by the 1966 drought. The Pakistan war of 1971 occurred much later.
