Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The NITI Aayog supports interested States and Union Territories in establishing a State Institution for Transformation (SIT) under the State Support Mission (SSM) [4]. Launched as an umbrella initiative, the SSM aims to foster structured and institutionalized engagement between the Centre and States to achieve socio-economic goals by 2047 [5]. The mission assists states in either setting up new SITs or reimagining existing State Planning Boards as multi-disciplinary resource units to steer development strategies in alignment with national priorities [5]. This initiative is a key component of NITI Aayog's mandate to promote cooperative federalism by providing technical advice and building state-level capacity [3]. The mission was approved with a specific financial outlay for the period 2022-23 to 2024-25 to ensure continuous support for these state-level transformation bodies [5].
