The Indian government has officially reconstituted the NITI Aayog, appointing Ashok Lahiri, a noted economist and former chief economic advisor, as its new vice chairman. Alongside Lahiri, five new members have been appointed: Rajiv Gauba, former cabinet secretary; Prof. K. V. Raju, part-time member of the Economic Advisory Council; Prof. Gobardhan Das, director of the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal; Dr. M. Srinivas, director at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences; and Prof. Abhay Karandikar, secretary in the Department of Science and Technology. This reconstitution, more than a decade after the Aayog's establishment in 2015, is expected to bolster India's policy-making architecture, enhancing cooperative federalism and promoting reforms aimed at improving the 'Ease of Living.' The new team is set to take charge on Monday, replacing previous members who played crucial roles in various sectors, including agriculture and health policy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
