Abstract

This study is a comparative study of national development plans in Nigeria and India. Development is fundamental and pertinent in every society and the approach used in attaining such development is very vital. Different countries at one point in time come up with national development plans which they believe will address the inherent problems in their society. It is in this context that the study examines the national development plans of Nigeria and India. The study is exploratory, as it utilises the descriptive research method whereby relevant literature, and documents were consulted and analysed based on the existing literature. To achieve the study goal, the historical antecedent of the national development plan for the two countries were interrogated as well as the various achievement and challenges of the development plans in both Nigeria and India. The paper dissects on the areas of convergence as regards the level of success attained and the major causes that lead to the failures experienced during the cause of implementing the development plans. Based on the findings, the study discovered that lack of involvement of the media in the development plans has affected the development plan, and low level of effective consultation of people has significantly affected the development plans.
