Achievements of the five year plans in each sector can be summarised as follows:

Agriculture sector: Agricultural productivity marked an upward trend during the plan period this was mainly due to the land reform that was adopted.However, use of chemical fertilizer, better seeds, irrigation and improved methods of cultivation has increased productivity per hectare and per worker many times. This development has laid the foundation of green revolution and other institutional changes in agriculture sector.

Industrial sector: In the first five year plan much of the capital was invested to develop the industry as there was view that a country can develop only if they have a strong industrial sector as industry provides employment and modernisation. As a result, industrial production increased to a great extent.

Other sectors: Such as transport and communication. During the planning period, much attention has been paid towards the development of transport and communication. In the first two plans, more than one-fourth of the total outlay was invested on the development of transport and communication.
