Question

How is the NITI Aayog different from the Planning Commission?

• A. NITI Aayog decides the allocation of budget.
• B. NITI Aayog acts as an advisory to the government.
• C. NITI Aayog mandates reforms and policies.
• D. NITI Aayog stands as the second highest level of authority.

Answer 1

The correct option is B NITI Aayog acts as an advisory to the government.

The NITI Aayog brings together all the states to decide developmental policies. Unlike the Planning Commission, it serves as an advisory to the government rather than mandating the reforms and policies. It does not interfere with the allocation of budget.
