Solution
- Following independence, a Planning Commission based on the communist paradigm was constituted for India's planned development. However, in the age of globalisation, particularly in the twenty-first century, it was becoming ineffectual and irrelevant, particularly in terms of dealing with the pressing development concerns.
- As a result, on January 1, 2015, the NITI Aayog was established in place of the Planning Commission with the goal of providing the Union Government with required and technical advise on policymaking at the Central and State levels.

On the other hand, the national Congress ·government pursued liberal economic policies and incentives to private investment that was justified in terms of the sold criterion of achieving a maximum increase in production". - Francine Frankel
