Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Planning Commission of India was abolished and replaced by the NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) in 2015 to better cater to the country's evolving needs.

Answer 2

Planning Commission – Abolished Commission:
The Planning Commission of India, which was established in 1950, has been officially abolished.

The Planning Commission was responsible for formulating India’s Five Year Plans and played a central role in the country’s economic planning and development for several decades.

However, in 2014, the Government of India decided to replace the Planning Commission with a new institution called the NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). The NITI Aayog aims to foster cooperative federalism, encourage innovation, and better involve states in the decision-making process.

The abolition of the Planning Commission marked a shift from centralized planning to a more flexible, decentralized, and consultative approach to economic policy and governance.

Conclusion:
Among the given options, the Planning Commission is the commission that has been abolished.
