Govt may unveil new planning body before winter session

Government is likely to unveil the structure of the new official think tank that would replace the Planning Commission before the forthcoming winter session of Parliament in November.

‘The government may form the new body to replace Planning Commission before the Winter Session,’ a source said.

The Members of Parliament, he said, would obviously enquire about the status of the replacement of Commission which was announced by prime minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of Red Fort.

The issue of new body was discussed at meetings of experts in the Planning Commission and several suggestions were made to the government.

Suggestions for the structure of a new body were also made by other individuals but Modi has yet to take a final view on it.
