The year 1958 witnessed probably the best organised
Exhibition so far held in India at a national level. Organised in record
time, the Exhibition comprising nearly 300 pavilions and stalls divided in 22
centres, truly pictured the evolution of a new India since Independence under
the impact of successive Five year plans. India was in the middle of the Second
Five Year Plan and
substantial progress has been made in most of the projects forming the core of
the plan. The Exhibition provided splendid opportunities to demonstrate to the
people of India the various development plans and stages of progress achieved
and to impress upon the people that the Plan was for the people and not the
people for the Plan. To that extent India 1958 was a great success.
