&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Will the Aayog&#039;s vision be any different than the top-down approach of its predecessor, the Planning Commission? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
WITH THE end of the 12th Five Year Plan on March 31, India&amp;rsquo;s 65-year tryst with five-year economic development planning has come to an end. In 2014, when the National Democratic Alliance government scrapped the Planning Commission and replaced it with the National Institute of Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, it announced that the five-year plan, a top-down planning process, would be replaced with a vision document, which will bring states to act together in national interest, and thereby foster cooperative federalism. But on April 1, when officials reach the newly-painted and renamed office building of NITI Aayog in Lutyens&amp;rsquo; Delhi, they would be clueless about the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are neither aware of the timeline of the vision document nor its contents and when it will come into force,&amp;rdquo; says a NITI Aayog member who does not wish to be named. While some NITI Aayog officials tell Down To Earth that the vision document would provide a three-year strategy, others speculate that it would cover a period of seven or 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former Planning Commission members, who agree with the government&amp;rsquo;s decision of doing away with the institution, are critical of this void in the planning process. &amp;ldquo;Development plans need to be formulated with long-term vision. But no document available in the public domain offers a sense of that vision,&amp;rdquo; says B K Chaturvedi, former cabinet secretary, who was instrumental in formulating the Twelfth Five Year Plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Besides, experts say several countries, including China, Vietnam and Cambodia, are benefitting from the five-year planned economic development model. So, they say, the government should have restructured and streamlined the five-year plan instead of scrapping it altogether.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Change is must, but how&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In 1951, taking cues from their Soviet advisers, Indian leaders introduced the First Five Year Plan. The Planning Commission was charged with the responsibility of making assessment of all resources of the country, augmenting deficient resources, formulating plans for the most effective and balanced utilisation of resources and determining priorities. Since then, five-year plan guidelines have played a crucial role in the country&amp;rsquo;s development, right from raising people&amp;rsquo;s living standards to improving literacy rate, food production and health parameters, alleviating poverty and promoting industrialisation. But towards the 1980s, the plans started becoming more technical, driven by bureaucrats and isolated from realities. &amp;ldquo;Then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi once termed the Planning Commission as a bunch of jokers,&amp;rdquo; recalls Arun Maira, a management consultant who was part of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. &lt;br /&gt;

In 1951, taking cues from their Soviet advisers, Indian leaders introduced the First Five Year Plan. The Planning Commission was charged with the responsibility of making assessment of all resources of the country, augmenting deficient resources, formulating plans for the most effective and balanced utilisation of resources and determining priorities. Since then, five-year plan guidelines have played a crucial role in the country&amp;rsquo;s development, right from raising people&amp;rsquo;s living standards to improving literacy rate, food production and health parameters, alleviating poverty and promoting industrialisation. But towards the 1980s, the plans started becoming more technical, driven by bureaucrats and isolated from realities. &amp;ldquo;Then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi once termed the Planning Commission as a bunch of jokers,&amp;rdquo; recalls Arun Maira, a management consultant who was part of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. &lt;br /&gt;

In 2014, when the National Democratic Alliance government scrapped the Planning Commission and replaced it with the National Institute of Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, it announced that the five-year plan, a top-down planning process, would be replaced with a vision document, which will bring states to act together in national interest, and thereby foster cooperative federalism. But on April 1, when officials reach the newly-painted and renamed office building of NITI Aayog in Lutyens&amp;rsquo; Delhi, they would be clueless about the task at hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;We are neither aware of the timeline of the vision document nor its contents and when it will come into force,&amp;rdquo; says a NITI Aayog member who does not wish to be named. While some NITI Aayog officials tell Down To Earth that the vision document would provide a three-year strategy, others speculate that it would cover a period of seven or 10 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former Planning Commission members, who agree with the government&amp;rsquo;s decision of doing away with the institution, are critical of this void in the planning process. &amp;ldquo;Development plans need to be formulated with long-term vision.

&lt;em&gt;Will the Aayog&#039;s vision be any different than the top-down approach of its predecessor, the Planning Commission? &lt;br /&gt;

WITH THE end of the 12th Five Year Plan on March 31, India&amp;rsquo;s 65-year tryst with five-year economic development planning has come to an end. In 2014, when the National Democratic Alliance government scrapped the Planning Commission and replaced it with the National Institute of Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, it announced that the five-year plan, a top-down planning process, would be replaced with a vision document, which will bring states to act together in national interest, and thereby foster cooperative federalism.

<em>Will the Aayog's vision be any different than the top-down approach of its predecessor, the Planning Commission? <br />
</em><br />
WITH THE end of the 12th Five Year Plan on March 31, India&rsquo;s 65-year tryst with five-year economic development planning has come to an end. In 2014, when the National Democratic Alliance government scrapped the Planning Commission and replaced it with the National Institute of Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, it announced that the five-year plan, a top-down planning process, would be replaced with a vision document, which will bring states to act together in national interest, and thereby foster cooperative federalism. But on April 1, when officials reach the newly-painted and renamed office building of NITI Aayog in Lutyens&rsquo; Delhi, they would be clueless about the task at hand.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We are neither aware of the timeline of the vision document nor its contents and when it will come into force,&rdquo; says a NITI Aayog member who does not wish to be named. While some NITI Aayog officials tell Down To Earth that the vision document would provide a three-year strategy, others speculate that it would cover a period of seven or 10 years.<br />
<br />
Former Planning Commission members, who agree with the government&rsquo;s decision of doing away with the institution, are critical of this void in the planning process. &ldquo;Development plans need to be formulated with long-term vision. But no document available in the public domain offers a sense of that vision,&rdquo; says B K Chaturvedi, former cabinet secretary, who was instrumental in formulating the Twelfth Five Year Plan.<br />
<br />
Besides, experts say several countries, including China, Vietnam and Cambodia, are benefitting from the five-year planned economic development model. So, they say, the government should have restructured and streamlined the five-year plan instead of scrapping it altogether.<br />
<br />
<em>Change is must, but how<br />
</em><br />
In 1951, taking cues from their Soviet advisers, Indian leaders introduced the First Five Year Plan. The Planning Commission was charged with the responsibility of making assessment of all resources of the country, augmenting deficient resources, formulating plans for the most effective and balanced utilisation of resources and determining priorities. Since then, five-year plan guidelines have played a crucial role in the country&rsquo;s development, right from raising people&rsquo;s living standards to improving literacy rate, food production and health parameters, alleviating poverty and promoting industrialisation. But towards the 1980s, the plans started becoming more technical, driven by bureaucrats and isolated from realities. &ldquo;Then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi once termed the Planning Commission as a bunch of jokers,&rdquo; recalls Arun Maira, a management consultant who was part of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. <br />

NITI Aayog begins business without action plan -Jitendra

-Down to Earth Will the Aayog's vision be any different than the top-down approach of its predecessor, the Planning Commission? WITH THE end of the 12th Five Year Plan on March 31, India’s 65-year tryst with five-year economic development planning has come to an end.
