What is plan and non plan budget?

There are two components of expenditure - plan and non-plan. Of these, plan expenditures are estimated after discussions between each of the ministries concerned and the Planning Commission. Plan expenditure forms a sizeable proportion of the total expenditure of the Central Government. The Demands for Grants of the various Ministries show the Plan expenditure under each head separately from the Non-Plan expenditure. Non-plan revenue expenditure is accounted for by interest payments, subsidies (mainly on food and fertilisers), wage and salary payments to government employees, grants to States and Union Territories governments, pensions, police, economic services in various sectors, other general services such as tax collection, social services, and grants to foreign governments.

Did Abraham Lincoln use the Anaconda plan?

Union General Scott's Anaconda Plan was initially thought by Lincoln as being too slow to accomplish his objectives. The Plan called for a blockade of Southern ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the South. Along with that, to take control of the Mississippi and hold important Southern cities on that river. Scott's plan was to basically strangle the South and force them in time force the South to surrender. Lincoln believed that the Plan was too slow. He wanted a faster to for the end of the Southern rebellion. As things worked out, however, the first major step Lincoln took was to attempt the above-mentioned blockade. Later in the war, the control of the Mississippi and New Orleans would be crucial to the Union's war in the West.
