The composition of S&T development plans Is determined by their principal elements: objectives, means and resources. Their. basic technical level of production and major types of manufactured product. Indicators of objectives <target Indicators) Include the economic effect of S&T development measures and technical level of production and major types of manufactured product. Indicators of means Include: Indicators of R&D activities; mastering of new types of Industrial produce; Introduction of new advanced technology; mechanization and automation of production processes; purchase of foreign I lcences and samples of new articles and their utilization in the national economy; standardization and metrological activities; scientific organiza­ tion of work; Indicators of basic assignments In S&T problems which are elaborated together with foreign countries. Indicators of resources include: financing of scientific research activities, training of research and scientific­ pedagogical personnel; development of pilot experimental base and material-technical logistics. FORMATION OF BASIC DIRECTIONS OF S&T POLICY In the 1970s the Soviet Union developed a new form of sub­ stantiation of single S&T pol Icy. namely the Complex programme of S&T progress for a period of 20 years, "On further Improvement-of planning and reinforcement of Impact of economic mechanism of raising production efficiency and quality of work" which has become an Integral part of long-term planning, Jts first stage. The el laboratlon of the Complex Programme makes It possible to take full account of potentialities of scientific and technological revolution. The central methodological problem of elaboration of the Complex Programme consists In coordination of Its s~lentlflc­ technologlcal and socio-economic aspects. The major goal of the acceleration of S&T progress Is the lnteslflcatlon of production. The Complex Programme determines the ways of solving major scien­tific and technological problems proceeding from the objectives of socio-economic development and. simultaneously, provides sub­ stantiation of scales and time of solving socio-economic tasks 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the planning and development of science and technology (S&T) in a country, specifically the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It highlights the importance of S&T in achieving economic goals, such as increasing production efficiency and quality. The text also mentions the coordination of scientific, technological, and socio-economic aspects in the planning process. Given the focus on S&T development and its relationship to economic goals, it is likely that the text falls under the category of Science and Technology.
