 Introduction

January 1, 2015.

The aim for NITI Aayog’s creation is to foster
involvement and participation in the economic policymaking
process by the state government of India.
One of the important mandates of NITI Aayog is to
bring co-operative competitive federalism and to
improve centre-state relation.
The Governing Council of NITI Aayog, with The Prime Minister
as its Chairman, comprises Chief Ministers of all States and Lt.
Governors of Union Territories.
Why was NITI Aayog established?

The government realized that the Planning Commission had completed more
than 6 decades of existence and had become outdated. Since it was based on a
“one size fits all” formula, it was no longer able to address the diverse economic
paradigms in the country. Thus, NITI Aayog was launched as a quintessential platform of
the Government of India to bring States to act together in national interest, and thereby
foster Cooperative Federalism.
Objectives of NITI Aayog
• Addressing the national development priorities and devising strategies
for the States to meet the national objectives.
• Creating a framework, i.e., a “national agenda” for the Prime Minister to
review and act upon.
• Creating and fostering an entrepreneurial support system with the help
of various communities of experts.
• Creating plans and mechanisms at the village level, and then combining

them progressively at the higher government level.
