NITI AAYOG
AGENDA:
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND MAPPING OF CSS AND MINISTRIES OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
The National Institution for Transforming India, also called NITI Aayog, was formed via a resolution of the Union Cabinet on January 1, 2015. NITI Aayog is the premier policy ‘Think Tank’ of the Government of India, providing both directional and policy inputs. While designing strategic and long term policies and programmes for the Government of India, NITI Aayog also provides relevant technical advice to the Centre and States.
The Government of India, in keeping with its reform agenda, constituted the NITI Aayog to replace the Planning Commission instituted in 1950. This was done in order to better serve the needs and aspirations of the people of India. An important evolutionary change from the past, NITI Aayog acts as the quintessential platform of the Government of India to bring States to act together in national interest, and thereby fosters Cooperative Federalism.
NITI Aayog is also developing itself as a State of the Art Resource Centre, with the necessary resources, knowledge and skills, that will enable it to act with speed, promote research and innovation, provide strategic policy vision for the government, and deal with contingent issues.
At SAIMUN 2019 you can expect NITI Aayog to be the incipience of social, economic, financial reforms and integration of development policies, elimination of opacity and
misadventures in governance .Thus taking the Indian development agenda forward way beyond rhetorics and hyperboles.
