In which year was a Cabinet resolution passed to replace the Planning Commission with NITI Aayog?
Explanation
The Union Cabinet passed a resolution on January 1, 2015, to replace the Planning Commission with the NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India). While the proposal to replace the 65-year-old Planning Commission was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day speech on August 15, 2014, the formal institutional transition occurred through the Cabinet resolution at the start of 2015. NITI Aayog serves as the premier policy 'Think Tank' of the Government of India, providing both directional and policy inputs. Unlike the Planning Commission, which followed a top-down model, NITI Aayog emphasizes cooperative federalism and a bottom-up approach. It is an executive body, meaning it was created by a government order and is neither a constitutional nor a statutory body.
