Recently Government has reconstituted NITI Aayog, renaming Rajiv Kumar as its vice chairman and appointing Home Minister Amit Shah as ex-officio member. Background • Planning Commission was initially set up in 1950 as an agency to direct investment activity in a country. • Planning Commission of India had two key duties to perform i.e.; to implement five-year plan and second was to provide the finances to the state. • The disenchantment with the Planning Commission could be traced on two important fronts: o the perception that it was not able to capture the new realities of macro-economic management at the national level, o it had not been conducive to sound fiscal relations between the Union and the States. • This did not fit well with the imperative for an inclusive and equitable path of economic development in India. • In this context, National Institution for Transforming India (NITI Aayog) was constituted in 2015 as a think tank and advisory body of the government. Relevance of NITI Aayog • Competitive Federalism: Various reports of NITI Aayog like Healthy states Progressive India etc which give performance-based rankings of States across various verticals to foster a spirit of competitive federalism. It helps to identify the best practices in different States in various sectors and then try to replicate them in other States. • Cooperative federalism: Due to composition of NITI Aayog, it gives better representation of states in this body which facilitate direct interactions with the line ministries, also helps to address issues in a relatively shorter time. • Greater Accountability: NITI Aayog has established a Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office which collects data on the performance of various Ministries on a real-time basis. The data are then used at the highest policymaking levels to establish accountability and improve performance. o Earlier, India had 12 Five-Year Plans, but they were mostly evaluated long after the plan period had ended. Hence, there was no real accountability. • Think tank of innovative ideas: NITI Aayog is visualised as a funnel through which new and innovative ideas come from all possible sources — industry, academia, civil society or foreign specialists — and flow into the government system for implementation. o By collecting fresh ideas and sharing them with the Central and State governments, it allows states to progress with these new ideas. 4 www.visionias.in ©Vision IAS o Hence it helps in improving governance and implementing innovative measures for better delivery of public services. • Convergence for resolution: Being a common point for similar issues faced by different sectors, states etc., it acts as a convergence point and platform to discuss these issues. Concerns with NITI Aayog • Biasness towards government & private sector: While generating new ideas, NITI Aayog should maintain a respectable intellectual distance from the government of the day. However, concerns have been regarding NITI Aayog’s offering rather uncritical praise of governments projects. o Concerns have also been raised regarding NITI Aayog’s treatment of public sector while advocating private sector in almost every sphere as the savior of Indian economy. • Financial constraint: NITI Aayog has no powers in granting discretionary funds to states, which renders it toothless to undertake a “transformational” intervention. o While during the Planning Commission days, it was easy for the commission to give to shape the idea as it had the control over funds and hence over an agenda. • Only
