Explanation

The chronological sequence of planning institutions in India begins with the National Planning Committee, which was constituted in 1938 under the chairmanship of Jawaharlal Nehru by the Indian National Congress. Following independence, the Planning Commission was established on March 15, 1950, through an executive resolution of the Government of India . Subsequently, the National Development Council (NDC) was formed on August 6, 1952, to involve the states in the planning process [1][4]. Although the First Five-Year Plan commenced in 1951, it was formally approved by the newly established NDC in late 1952 [1][2]. Therefore, the correct order is the National Planning Committee (1938), the Planning Commission (1950), the National Development Council (1952), and the approval of the First Five-Year Plan by the NDC (1952).
