that will provide a market-place of whetted panels of expertise and funding,
for Central and State Governments to tap into; matching their requirements with solution
providers, public and private, national and international. By playing match-maker instead of
providing the entire service itself, NITI Aayog will be able to focus its resources on priority
matters, providing guidance and an overall quality check to the rest.
Team India Wing
comprising representatives from every State and Ministry, will serve as a
permanent platform for national collaboration. Each representative will:
●
Ensure every State/Ministry has a continuous voice and stake in the NITI Aayog.
●
Establish a direct communication channel between the State / Ministry and NITI Aayog for
all development related matters, as the dedicated liaison interface.
A
national Hub-Spoke
institutional model will be developed, with each State and Ministry
encouraged to build dedicated mirror institutions, serving as the interface of interaction. These
institutions, in turn, will nurture their own networks of expertise at State and Ministry level.
NITI Aayog will function in close cooperation, consultation and coordination with the Ministries
of the Central Government, and State governments. While it will make recommendations to the
Central and State Governments, the responsibility for taking and implementing decisions will rest
with them.
