<h1>India Targets 9% GDP Growth in 12th Five Year Plan with Focus on Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Infrastructure Development.</h1> The 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17) aims for a 9% annual GDP growth, emphasizing faster, inclusive, and sustainable development. Previous GDP growth rates were 8.4% for 2009-10 and 2010-11, dropping to 6.9% in 2011-12 due to global factors like the eurozone crisis and domestic issues such as tightened monetary policy. To achieve the growth target, the plan focuses on improving agriculture, job creation in manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Measures include increased investment in agriculture and infrastructure, support for MSMEs, and financial sector reforms, as detailed by a government official in a parliamentary response.
