 NITI Aayog—An Alternate Think TankAtul Sarma ()
A chapter in Perspectives on Inclusive Policies for Development in India, 2022, pp 213-229 from Springer Abstract: Abstract On 1 January 2015, the Cabinet passed a resolution to set up the National Institution for Transformation of India (NITI) Aayog. This brought to the end of the erstwhile Planning Commission, which had played an important role in the country’s economy for over six and a half decades from very low initial conditions to a high growth trajectory. This paper addresses the following issues relating to the NITI Aayog: What has motivated the new government to replace the Planning Commission with the NITI Aayog? What are the roles and functions assigned? What is its organizational design? How does its functional architecture look like? What are some of its major initiatives in the last four years? Was it inevitable to dissolve the Planning Commission and create a new institution to do what the NITI Aayog is doing? While concluding, it argues that a restructured and reoriented Planning Commission dispensing with its negatives features such as micro-management and excessive bureaucratization but retaining the positive ones in sync with the changed contexts could have done better than what NITI Aayog has been doing.
