Due to miserable failure of the Third Plan the government was forced to declare "plan holidays" (from 1966−67,1967−68, and 1968−69) Three annual plans were drawn during this intervening period. During 1966−67 there was again the problem of drought. Equal priority was given to agriculture, its allied activities, and industrial sector. The government of India declared "Devaluation of Rupee" to increase the exports of the country. The main reasons for plan holidays were the war, lack of resources and increase in inflation.
