PM has Established NITI Ayog inplace of Yojna Ayog

Niti Ayog  - 1/1/2015 By GOVT of INDIA

India's Planning Commission will be renamed "NITI Aayog" as part of a restructuring plan announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech.

'NITI' is an acronym for "National Institution for Transforming India," said officials.

The new plan body, sources say, will have up to five full time members and four union ministers.

The permanent members are expected to be experts from various fields.

The change comes almost 65 years after India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, a socialist who admired Joseph Stalin's drive to industrialize the Soviet Union, set up and chaired the Commission to map out a development path for India's agrarian economy.

The panel reported directly to the Prime Minister, who was its chairman. 

Earlier this month, PM Modi held discussions with chief ministers on replacing the body with a 'Team India' concept that would give states a greater role in developing Asia's third largest economy.

There was no consensus among chief ministers. Those from Congress-ruled states said the plan panel should be reinvented rather than scrapped and replaced. States ruled by the BJP and its allies agreed to the restructuring, but insisted on a greater role in policy-making.

The Centre and states also failed to agree on whether Five-Year Plans and the annual state plans should be retained or dumped. 

There was broad consensus, however, on the need to strengthen federalism and give states more powers and greater flexibility to implement programmes. 

All states had agreed that the principle of "one-size-fits-all" for schemes and programmes does not work.

The opposition Congress has criticised the restructuring plan, calling it "shortsighted and dangerous".

'Don't Cross Lakshman Rekha': PM Modi's Warning to BJP Lawmakers

'Don't Cross Lakshman Rekha' : PM


Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly told BJP lawmakers that controversial statements made by some of them are hurting the party and government's image and that no one must cross the line or the "Lakshman Rekha."

PM Modi talked tough at the BJP's parliamentary party meeting held every Tuesday when Parliament is in session, also emphasising that development work undertaken by the party's lawmakers must be "visible and not just on paper."

The PM is reportedly displeased at comments like the one made by party MP Sakshi Maharaj, who had last week described Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse as a "patriot".  A united opposition attacked the government and sources said Sakshi Maharaj was upbraided at a meeting of top BJP leaders, after which he had apologized in Parliament.

One mind blowing interview

Its Really One mind blowing interview

Interviewer : BabanRao Dhole-Patil Inst it ute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!

Candidate : Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it ..
What happened is – due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him ‘baap’) – “I can not invest so much of money”.(The baap actually said – “I will never waste so much of money on you”). So I had to join this college. Frankly speaking this name – BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya

Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 6 years to complete your engineering.

Candidate : Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.

Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.

Candidate: Oh, is it ? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot.. I think they should ban it .

Interviewer : Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.

Candidate : No, no… I am talking about Exams!!

Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?

Candidate : Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it . In fact, when I flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus
corporation in Maharashtra ) through some relative.

Interviewer : Do you have any plans of higher study?

Candidate: he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing ‘lower’ education it self was so much of pain!!

Interviewer : Let’s talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?

And very important – I know few words like – ‘Showstoppers ‘ , ‘hot fixes’, ‘SEI-CMM’, ‘quality’, ‘version control’, ‘deadlines’ , ‘Customer Satisfaction’ etc. Also I can blame others for my mistakes!

Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?

Candidate : Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand..

2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.

3. I believe in flexi-timings.

4. Dress Code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.

5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.

6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there are Olympics coming up in China in the current year, I don’t mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don’t have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
