Himachal Pradesh
The era of planning in Himachal Pradesh started 1948 along with the rest of India. The first five-year plan allocated Rs 52.7 million to Himachal. More than 50% of this expenditure was incurred on road construction since it was felt that without proper transport facilities, the process of planning and development could not be carried to the people, who mostly lived an isolated existence in far away areas. Himachal now ranks fourth in respect of per capita income among the states of the Indian Union.
