• The government had to declare "Plan Holidays" (1966-67, 1967-68, and 1968-69). The Sino-Indian War of 1962 and the Indo-Pak War of 1965, which caused the Third Five Year Plan to fail, were the primary causes of the plan holidays. Hence, statement 1 is correct. • During 1966-67, there was the problem of drought but it was not the reason behind the plan holiday. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect. • Therefore, A is the right answer.
