Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while chairing the first meeting of the governing council of the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) urged chief ministers to forge a model of cooperative federalism where the Centre and states come together to chart a common course to progress and prosperity with a focus on growth, investment and job creation.
As per the government release, the NITI Aayog will be a think-tank having experts and representative on its board from states and the Centre and will have specialised wings including 'Team India'. It will function in close cooperation, consultation and coordination with the central ministries and state governments and will house a number of specialised wings, including Research, Consultancy and Team-India.
The government had set up NITI Aayog as a new policy panel to replace the erstwhile Planning Commission through a Cabinet resolution and with a view to bring up all the states together. While most states appreciated the idea of involvement of states in the framing up of a national development agenda, a majority of them had also asked Centre to ensure greater flow of funds to states and give them flexibility to chart their own course of growth. It will provide critical directional and strategic input to the development process, focusing on deliverables and outcomes.
