As per the Cabinet Resolution of 1st January, 2015, the NITI Aayog consists of the Prime Minister, the Governing Council (CMs of States and L-Gs of UTs), and a Chief Executive Officer.
NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) is the premier policy ‘Think Tank’ of the Government of India, providing directional and policy inputs.
The structure of NITI Aayog includes (1) Chairperson: Prime Minister of India, (2) Governing Council: comprising Chief Ministers of all States and Lt. Governors of Union Territories, (3) Regional Councils: to address specific regional issues, (4) Vice-Chairperson: appointed by the Prime Minister, (5) Members: full-time, (6) Part-time Members: maximum 2 from leading universities/research organizations, (7) Ex-Officio Members: maximum 4 from the Union Council of Ministers nominated by the Prime Minister, and (8) Chief Executive Officer (CEO): appointed by the Prime Minister for a fixed tenure. Statement 3, ‘Rural Development Minister’, is not listed as a structural component (like Chairperson, Governing Council, CEO, or a mandatory Ex-Officio Member post) in the core resolution, although a minister holding this portfolio could potentially be nominated as an Ex-Officio Member. However, options 1, 2, and 4 are explicitly part of the fundamental structure.
