New Delhi, Jan 2 (KNN) The Union Government has replaced the Planning Commission with NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) which includes in its structure a governing council comprising all chief ministers and headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to help in providing critical directional and strategic input into the development process.
“NITI Aayog will emerge as a ‘think-tank’ that will provide Governments at the central and state levels with relevant strategic and technical advice across the spectrum of key elements of policy,” said a release from Prime Minister’s office yesterday.
The NITI Aayog will also seek to put an end to slow and tardy implementation of policy, by fostering better inter-ministry coordination and better centre-state coordination. It will help evolve a shared vision of national development priorities, and foster cooperative federalism, recognizing that strong states make a strong nation.
It will develop mechanisms to formulate credible plans to the village level and aggregate these progressively at higher levels of government. It will ensure that special attention is given to the sections of society that may be at risk of not benefitting adequately from the economic progress.
The NITI Aayog will create a knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurial support system through a collaborative community of national and international experts, practitioners and partners. It will offer a platform for resolution of inter-sectoral and inter-departmental issues in order to accelerate the implementation of the development agenda.
In addition, the NITI Aayog will monitor and evaluate the implementation of programmes, and focus on technology upgradation and capacity building.
The NITI Aayog aims to enable India to better face complex challenges, through certain areas like leveraging of India's demographic dividend, and realization of the potential of youth, men and women, through education, skill development, elimination of gender bias, and employment. (KNN/ST)
