NITI Aayog replaced the Planning Commission in 2015 with a changed mandate. Its core functions include:
1. Designing strategic and long-term policy and programme frameworks.
2. Fostering cooperative federalism by involving states in national policy-making.
3. Functioning as a think tank and knowledge and innovation hub, providing policy advice and promoting research and innovation.
All three statements accurately describe the functions of NITI Aayog.
NITI Aayog acts as a policy think tank, promotes cooperative federalism, and designs strategic frameworks.
Unlike the Planning Commission which had powers to allocate funds, NITI Aayog is primarily an advisory body. Its structure includes a Governing Council comprising state Chief Ministers and Lt. Governors, emphasizing its role in fostering cooperative federalism.
