Soon after India became independent, the Planning Commission came into being. The Prime Minister was its Chairperson. Thus Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru became the first chairperson of the Planning Commission.

The Government of India replaced the Planning Commission with a new institution named NITI Aayog. NITI Aayog stands for National Institution for Transforming India. The NITI Aayog came into existence on 1 January 2015. The Prime Minister was its Chairperson. At that time Shri Narendra Modi was the PM of India. Thus, he became the first chairperson of the NITI Aayog.
