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) focuses on providing strategic and directional input for development and serving as a think tank to assist both the central and state governments in their policy formulation. It does not directly involve itself in arranging funds for the implementation of developmental programs, as that responsibility primarily lies with the respective ministries and departments.
Thus, the correct answer is (C) Arrange funds for the implementation of developmental programs.
