Explanation

The Government of India established NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) on January 1, 2015, through a resolution of the Union Cabinet. NITI Aayog was set up to replace the 65-year-old Planning Commission, which had been in existence since 1950. The new institution was envisioned as a premier policy 'think-tank' of the Government of India, providing both directional and policy inputs, in contrast to the Planning Commission's role in centralized planning and allocation.
