About NITI Aayog
NITI Aayog is the Government of India’s apex public policy think tank. It is also the nodal agency for driving economic development and cooperative federalism. Chaired by the Prime Minister, it advises the Centre and the States on development and governance. For a law student, this is a chance to see how policy is shaped before it becomes law.
