Question

Who was appointed as a Full-Time Member of NITI Aayog in April 2026, with Prime Minister Modi calling his personal journey "very inspiring"?

The correct answer is

Dr. Gobardhan Das

NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India) replaced the Planning Commission in 2015 as the government's policy think tank. It is chaired by the Prime Minister and has a Vice-Chairperson, full-time members, part-time members and ex-officio members.

In April 2026, Dr. Gobardhan Das was appointed as a Full-Time Member of NITI Aayog. Welcoming the appointment, Prime Minister Modi described his personal journey as very inspiring, as stated in the question.

Dr. Rajiv Gauba, a former Cabinet Secretary, was already made a full-time member of NITI Aayog earlier, in 2025, so he is not the April 2026 appointee. Prof. Abhay Karandikar is known as Secretary of the Department of Science and Technology.

Dr. Ashok Lahiri is an economist and former Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India; he is not the person appointed in April 2026.

Hence, Dr. Gobardhan Das.
