NITI Aayog

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Replaced the Planning Commission in 2015 to adopt a “bottom-up” approach for policy formulation. Chaired by the Prime Minister, NITI Aayog involves state Chief Ministers and Lt. Governors of UTs as part of the Governing Council. It offers strategic inputs on national development, fosters cooperative federalism, and encourages innovative governance solutions. The Aayog’s three-year action agendas and sectoral strategies shape resource allocation. Unlike the Planning Commission, NITI Aayog lacks authority to allocate funds, focusing instead on policy coordination, best practices, and performance evaluation. Its think-tank role and emphasis on real-time data guide India’s transition toward holistic, evidence-based policymaking.
