Long term strategic plans are being prepared for overall development of the country and consultations with states and other stakeholders have been completed with respect to these proposed initiatives, the government said today.

"For overall development of the country, a long term vision with 15 years perspective up to 2030, a seven-year strategy for achievement of the national development agenda (from 2017-18 to 2023-24) and with a three-year Action Plan are under preparation.

"Consultations have been done with the states and other stakeholders for this exercise," Minister of State for Planning Rao Inderjit Singh told the Lok Sabha during Question Hour.
