Since the publication of the Draft Outline of the plan, it has been thoroughly examined by the Central Government and the State Governments. It has been well discussed in Parliament and most of the Legislatures in the states. Opinions about the draft have been obtained from a number of organisations like commerce, industry, farmers and labour. At the request of the Planning Commission, many educational institutions had organized seminars for teachers and students to study the plan and send their views and comments to the Commission. District Boards, Municipal Committees and district groups of officials and non-officials analyzed the plan in reference to the local problems. As a result of the discussion and comments obtained from varied groups, each and every aspect of the proposals mentioned in the Draft outline has been examined to the greatest possible extent.
