Abstract
In 1947 the Finance Minister of then Ceylon, presented the country's first development plan covering six years 1947 to 1953. Since then till 1977, the country has had another six years investment programme, a ten year plan, a five year plan and several implementation plans of one years duration. Immediately after the 1977 change of Government the idea of planing was discredited but the attitude did not last long and circumstance need for better economic management had created a demand for some type of planing. Thus concept of roiling plan was adopted instead of fixed period planning.
