The new National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) will act more as a think tank providing advice and recommendations to the Prime Minister, in contrast to the previous Planning Commission which imposed five-year plans and allocated resources. NITI will include leaders from India's 29 states and seven union territories, and will be headed by the Prime Minister. It will focus on decentralized planning, supporting states, knowledge sharing, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and coordinating different levels of government. However, some argue it lacks accountability, long-term vision, and mechanisms for overseeing human development.
