The Seventh Five-Year Plan (1985-1990) focused on economic productivity, self-sufficiency, and modernization. It aimed at improving living standards and emphasizing agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. The plan also initiated measures toward economic liberalization, setting the stage for future re-forms.
Assertion (A) is true: Economic globalism, which involves greater interconnectedness and interdependence of economies, does not necessarily mean that socialist ideology will decline. Socialism can continue to influence political and economic systems even as globalism takes hold, since socialism is more focused on social ownership and equality, not just the structure of the global economy. Reason (R) is true: While socialism supports principles of Universalism and equity, its role in globalism is not central. Economic globalism often focuses on capitalist principles rather than socialist ideals. Thus, Reason (R) is true but does not explain Assertion (A).

| 2 | 1997 | (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A |
