Planning in India began with the establishment of the Planning Commission in 1950 after independence to aid economic development. India has since completed 12 five-year plans, with objectives evolving from a focus on growth to include equity and poverty alleviation. The Planning Commission was replaced by the NITI Aayog in 2015 to better involve states in policymaking.
