The '''NITI Aayog''' (Hindi for ''Policy Commission'') (abbreviation for '''National Institution for Transforming India''') is a [[public policy]] [[think tank]] of the [[Government of India]], established with the aim to achieve sustainable development goals with [[cooperative federalism]] by fostering the involvement of [[States and union territories of India|State Governments of India]] in the economic policy-making process using a [[Top-down and bottom-up design|bottom-up approach]]. Its initiatives include "15-year road map", "7-year vision, strategy, and action plan", [[Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation|AMRUT]], [[Digital India]], [[Startup India|Atal Innovation Mission]], Medical Education Reform, [[Agrarian reform|agriculture reforms]] (Model Land Leasing Law, Reforms of the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee Act, Agricultural Marketing and Farmer Friendly Reforms Index for ranking states), Indices Measuring States’ Performance in Health, Education and Water Management, Sub-Group of Chief Ministers on Rationalization of Centrally Sponsored Schemes, Sub-Group of Chief Ministers on [[Swachh Bharat Abhiyan]], Sub-Group of Chief Ministers on Skill Development, Task Forces on Agriculture and up of Poverty, and Transforming India Lecture Series.<ref name="niti1">[http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=163340 "NITI Ayog update June 2017."], [http://pib.nic.in/ NIC news], June 2017.</ref>

It was established in 2015, by the [[National Democratic Alliance (India)|NDA]] government, to replace the [[Planning Commission (India)|Planning Commission]] which followed a [[Top-down and bottom-up design|top-down model]]. The NITI Aayog council comprises all the state [[Chief minister|Chief Ministers]], along with the Chief Ministers of [[Delhi]] and [[Puducherry (union territory)|Puducherry]], Lieutenant Governors of all UTs, and a vice-chairman nominated by the Prime Minister. In addition, temporary members are selected from leading universities and research institutions. These members include a chief executive officer, four ex-official members, and two part-time members.

==History==
{{Main|Planning Commission (India)}}
29 May 2014, Independent Evaluation Office submitted an assessment report to Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] with the recommendation to replace the Planning Commission with a "control commission." On 13 August 2014, the Union Cabinet scrapped the Planning Commission, to be replaced with a diluted version of the [[National Advisory Council]] (NAC) of India. On 1 January 2015, a Cabinet resolution was passed to replace the Planning Commission with the newly formed NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). Union Government of India announced the formation of NITI Aayog on 1 January 2015. The first meeting of NITI Aayog was chaired by [[Narendra Modi]] on 8 February 2015.

Finance Minister [[Arun Jaitley]] made the following observation on the necessity of creating NITI Aayog, "The 65-year-old Planning Commission had become a redundant organisation. It was relevant in a command economy structure, but not any longer. India is a diversified country and its states are in various phases of economic development along with their own strengths and weaknesses. In this context, a ‘one size fits all’ approach to economic planning is obsolete. It cannot make India competitive in today's global economy."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/nation/we-will-use-every-provision-in-the-constitution-to-push-r|title=We will use every provision in the Constitution to push reforms|website=www.openthemagazine.com}}</ref> It is a reformation scheme of the day-to-day lifestyles of the people of India.

== NITI Lectures ==
NITI Aayog has started a new initiative on the advice of Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]] called ''NITI Lectures: Transforming India''. The aim of this initiative is to invite globally reputed policy makers, experts, administrators to India to share their knowledge, expertise, experience in policy making and good governance with Indian counterparts. This initiative will be a series of lectures started with first lecture<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://niti.gov.in/content/prime-minister-narendra-modi-inaugurates-niti-lectures-transforming-india|title=Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurates 'NITI Lectures: Transforming India'}}</ref> delivered by [[Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore]] Mr. [[Tharman Shanmugaratnam]]. He delivered lecture on subject called "India and the Global Economy" at [[Vigyan Bhavan]], [[New Delhi]]. The Prime Minister spoke about the idea behind this lecture series and stated that his vision for India is rapid transformation, not gradual evolution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://niti.gov.in/content/prime-minister-narendra-modi-inaugurates-niti-lectures-transforming-india|title=Niti Lectures}}</ref>

On 31 August 2017, NITI Aayog developed a State Statistics Handbook that consolidates key statistics across sectors for every Indian State/UT. While the State data on crucial indicators is currently fragmented across different sources, this handbook provides a one-stop database of important State statistics.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Jatinder|first1=Kaur|title=NITI Aayog Releases State Statistics Handbook|url=http://abclive.in/niti-aayog-releases-handbook-state-statistics/|access-date=1 September 2017|issue=Online|publisher=ABC Live}}</ref>

NITI Aayog has taken initiative on [[Blockchain]] usages in [[E-governance]] and has conceptualized the tech stack as 'IndiaChain'.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-11-13|title=IndiaChain: Niti Aayog starts on IndiaStack-linked, large-scale Blockchain projects|url=https://factordaily.com/indiachain-indiastack-blockchain/|access-date=2020-10-13|website=FactorDaily|language=en-US}}</ref> IndiaChain is the name given to Niti Aayog's ambitious project to develop a nation-wide [[blockchain]] network.

	The NITI Aayog has developed a Rs 75,000 crore vision for the industrial development of Great Nicobar Islands in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The plan entails the development of a transshipment terminal with a greenfield international airport, townships and solar and gas-based power plants, and has faced substantial backlash from indigenous Shompen and Nicobarese communities who fear displacement. The proposed plan is expected to impose significant ecological pressure on the island, its wildlife and its surroundings.<ref>EJOLT. "Housing project in Doi Suthep mountains, Thailand \| EJAtlas".
