Sarokaar - Replacement of Planning Commission

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s step to shut down planning commission has intensified the debate in political discourse over socialist model of Governance in India. Planning Commission is an apex body which worked with a socialist mandate for bringing Socio-Economic change in a rapidly developing paradigm.

It will be replaced by a different agency like China’s National Development Reforms Council (NDRC). Watch Sarokaar with distinguished panellists discussing various aspects of planning & development and envisaging the need of a new institution.
