3. THE HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN (FYP)
 Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman the father of the nation, dreamt of a 'Shonar Bangla' where the common citizens of the
country live in prosperity and have equitable access to quality education, healthcare, rule of law and employment opportunities. He
dreamt of a country that was prosperous, was free of poverty, provided equal opportunities for all, where social justice prevailed
and there was social protection for the poor and vulnerable against downside risks.
 The Awami League-led alliance resurrected that dream in 2008 to drive the country's sustainable development agenda by striking
the right balance between equitable national economic progress and human development. For the first time in the country's
history, such a comprehensive and audacious vision, steeped in through the success of a new development pagadigm – The Five
Year Plan (FYP)
 The country has moved up to low middle income status but, more importantly, by human development indicators, achieved a level
of development commonly predicted for twice its per capita income.
 The 7th FYP has been formulated with full recognition that the 'outlier' phenomenon (differing from all other members of a
particular group or set Bangladesh has emerged as a shining example for countries throughout the world as it continues to defy
traditional, linear development models and innovate a novel, alternative pathway for socioeconomic progress. ) is not merely a blip
on the development path but rather a sustainable occurrence chartering a new development trajectory.

4. WHAT IS 7TH FYP
 We made remarkable progress in raising incomes, reducing poverty and improving social indicators.
 The Government’s Vision 2021 defines several economic and social outcomes for Bangladesh to achieve by
2021. To convert this Vision into long-term development targets, a Perspective Plan 2010-2021 was prepared.
The targets of Vision 2021 and the associated Perspective Plan 2010-2021 were to be achieved through the
implementation of two five-year plans, the Sixth Five Year Plan (2011-15) and the Seventh Five Year Plan (2016-
2020). The 6th FYP made solid progress in increasing per capita income and reducing poverty through a
strategy of pro-poor economic growth.
 Without deviating from the main thrust of the 6th FYP, the 7th FYP articulates new strategies, institutions
and policies, while strengthening existing ones, to complete the remaining agenda of achieving the social and
economic outcomes of the Vision 2021 and the Perspective Plan.
