NITI Aayog gains importance in Govt work.
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) has welcomed the appointment of Dr. Rajiv Kumar as the new Vice Chairman of the National Institute for Transforming India (NITI Aayog).
The institution has increasingly gained in importance given the focus the current government has placed on the subject of cooperative federalism, said FICCI.
Niti is working in an array of areas that promote cross-learning and sharing of experiences amongst states for enhancing growth and development, it noted.
FICCI compliments the government for announcing the new Vice Chairman without any delay following the decision of present Vice Chairman Dr. Arvind Panagariya to join back academics.
This decision of the government will help Niti maintain continuity in its policy advocacy work, said FICCI. fii-news.com
