The idea of the Planning Commission in India was derived from the Soviet Union (USSR).
The Planning Commission was set up in March 1950 by a simple resolution of the Government of India.
The Prime Minister was its Chairperson.
It was an extra-constitutional and non-statutory body.
It became the most influential & central machinery for deciding what path & strategy India would adopt for its development.
It had an advisory role and its recommendations became effective only when the Union Cabinet approved them.
