Nehru raised the flag of independent India in New Delhi on 15 August 1947. 

Nehru's appreciation of the virtues of parliamentary democracy, secularism and liberalism, coupled with his concerns for the poor and underprivileged, are recognised to have guided him in formulating socialist policies that influence India to this day.

Nehru drew up the first FIVE YEAR PLAN  in 1951, which charted the government's investments in industries and agriculture.

Nehru pursued LAND REDISTRUBUTION and launched programmes to build irrigation canals, dams and spread the use of fertilizers to increase agricultural production.
