The functions of the Niti
Aayog and how it will proceed to transform India need to be spelt out clearly
and without much delay
In his first flush of
governance reforms, the Prime Minister announced the abolition of the Planning
Commission and its replacement with the National Institution for Transforming
India. Almost everyone, except the Nehruvian ideologues, welcomed the decision
as it was generally agreed that the Planning Commission had outlived its
purpose and utility and that something had to be done about it.
I wish
the Niti Aayog succeeds in fulfilling the promise with which it has been
created. And I hope that in its first meeting on February 6, 2015, it spells
out its mission as well as the mechanism to do it.
