तीसरी योजना की  विफलता को देखते हुए "योजना अवकाश" घोषित करना पड़ा। 

During this period ,three separate plans were prepared.
इस अवधि के दौरान, तीन अलग योजनाएं तैयार की गईं।

Equal priority were given to agriculture .
कृषि को समान प्राथमिकता दी गई थी।

The main reason of plan Holiday was indo-pak war, lack of resources and increase
in price level.

योजना अवकाश का मुख्य कारण इंडो-पक युद्ध, संसाधनों की कमी और कीमत स्तर में वृद्धि थी.
