NITI Aayog shows how practical Modi is: Planning Commission should have wound up when the government decided to move towards more decentralised governance.

Abstract

The government of India has finally announced the constitution of a new body replacing the Planning Commission - NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). In the statement, the government announced that in order to reap the benefits of the creative energy across the country emerging from states, regions and other localities the development model has to become more consensual and cooperative. A shared vision of promoting growth and development with active involvement of states should be based on human dignity, national self-respect, inclusive approach, equal opportunity to youth, transparency in government's activities, and a sustainable development path. NITI Aayog is a specific institution with a focused approach to giving life to these aspirations.
