The XII Five-Year Plan (2012-17) document is likely to also be a vision statement, encompassing broader issues that impact the India growth story and not just economic ones.
The rise of Islam as a reaction to totalitarian regimes, growing aspirations of marginalised communities within India, youth violence and restiveness in society because of economic disparity are among the factors that will find a mention.
The Planning Commission, having a re-look at its approach to the Plan, has also identified increasing violence in society, the rise of regional identities, dishonesty and failure of privately-run and government institutions, inadequate resources of water and energy, and a changing world order as key factors impacting economic growth.
The fresh parameters will be part of the first volume of the final document, which contains strategies and goals. These ideas were discussed at a Commission meeting earlier this month. Fine-tuning was done at a meeting.
The parameters, if accepted, will give a new dimension to the Plan process and could be a vision document of the country's economic and non-economic scenarios over 10-15 years.
Narratives on how the demographic dividend that India is set to get over that time and how that will pan out across the country;
the economic impact of changing world forces such as growth of China and its ambitions; challenges in democratic politics; ubiquity of information and proliferation of channels of communication could also form part of the document.
