Question

Which of the following statements is/are correct regarding the NITI Aayog?

• A. It replaced the Planning Commission.
• B. It is a subsidiary of the Planning Commission.
• C. It serves as an advisory to the government.
• D. It is responsible for designing Five-Year Plans.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

It serves as an advisory to the government.

The erstwhile Planning Commission was replaced by the NITI Aayog. Parallelly, the Five-Year Plans were also halted. Unlike the Planning Commission, the NITI Aayog serves as an advisory to the government rather than mandating reforms and policies.
