Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

NITI Aayog is the premier policy 'think tank' of the Government of India, providing critical directional and strategic inputs for the development process [5]. Its core mandate includes fostering cooperative federalism and designing long-term policy frameworks while monitoring and evaluating their implementation to ensure success and mid-course corrections [4]. While NITI Aayog provides a platform for the resolution of inter-sectoral and inter-departmental issues to accelerate development, it does not function as a 'provider of first and last resort' for inter-state conflicts. Inter-state conflict resolution is primarily the domain of constitutional mechanisms like the Inter-State Council (Article 263) or the judiciary. NITI Aayog focuses on collaborative partnership and shared national visions rather than acting as a formal adjudicatory body for state disputes [4].
