Planning Commission

The responsibility of plan formulation was with the Planning Commission at the Centre, State and district levels. But on 1 January 2015, the Planning Commission was replaced by the NITI Aayog.

NITI Aayog has been set up with the objective of involving the states in economic policy-making for India for providing strategic and technical advice to the Central and State governments.
