Question

Which one among the following statements is not the objective of NITI Aayog?

• A. Provide a critical directional and strategic input to the development process of India
• B. Serve as a think tank of the government both at the centre and state level.
• C. Arrange funds for the implementation of developmental programs.
• D. Seek to put an end to the slow and tardy implementation of the policies.

Hint:

Remember that NITI Aayog plays a policy advisory role, not a funding role.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) functions as a strategic think tank, offering guidance for development and aiding central and state governments in policy creation. It is not responsible for securing funds for developmental program execution; this duty is held by the relevant ministries and departments. Therefore, arranging funds for developmental program implementation is not a NITI Aayog function.
