NITI Aayog Statement Analysis

This question requires identifying the false statement about India's NITI Aayog.

Analyzing NITI Aayog Statements

  • Statement 1: NITI Aayog functions as the primary policy research and think tank for the Indian government. This is a correct description of its role.
  • Statement 2: NITI Aayog was established on 1 January 2016. This statement needs verification.
  • Statement 3: NITI Aayog promotes 'cooperative federalism' by fostering collaboration between the central government and state governments. This is a key objective and thus a correct statement.
  • Statement 4: The acronym NITI stands for National Institution for Transforming India. This is the official full form and hence a correct statement.

Identifying the Incorrect Statement

NITI Aayog was established on 1 January 2015. It replaced the Planning Commission. Therefore, the statement claiming its establishment date as 1 January 2016 is factually incorrect.

The INCORRECT statement is option 2.
