Nehruvian Model

About — Nehruvian Model

The Nehruvian Model denotes Jawaharlal Nehru’s post‑independence development approach, combining a mixed economy, state‑driven industrialisation, secularism and democratic governance. It guided India’s early planning, aiming for self‑reliance and social equity. The 1955 inauguration of the Bhilai steel plant under the first Five‑Year Plan exemplifies its heavy‑industry focus.
