Formed in 1952 to strengthen cooperative federalism. Chaired by the Prime Minister, it included Union Ministers, Chief Ministers of states, and UT administrators to finalize Five-Year Plans and review national objectives. Although not constitutionally mandated, it influenced policy alignment and state investment priorities. With the demise of the Planning Commission, the NDC’s role waned, and many of its functions integrated into NITI Aayog’s Governing Council. Historically, NDC symbolized consensus-driven planning, bridging political divides. Understanding NDC offers insight into India’s earlier planning framework, where states and the center negotiated resource allocations, jointly pursuing socioeconomic targets for the entire country.
