You get to interact with some of the most brilliant minds of our country including chief economists & IAS officers. It gives a great sense of how policies are made and how work is done under the various verticals.

It depends a lot on your reporting officer.

Dislikes

Work culture is very bad. All verticals try to pull you from all side and work may extend beyond 12 hours some days with Saturdays being taken as well. No work life balance is noticed. There is hardly any growth here. Attrition rate is high.

NITI has been set up by replacing Planning Commission. It's functions have been revised basically to formulate policy in respect to various sectors of economy. Further, it has also been entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring and evaluation of various programmes and schemes to assess their outcomes and impact on beneficiaries. However, monitoring and evaluation tasks are not to the satisfactory level. The expected coordination and cooperation of the States is also not up-to the expectation Since I was assigned the work of appraisal of projects and schemes in Project Appraisal and Mangemnt Division to advise the government bodies like Public Investment Board and Expenditure Committee in the Ministry of Finance. This is a professional work and I enjoyed very much while appraising about 750 schemes and projects during 25 years tenure. I feel that NITI Aayog is weaker organization than Planning Commission. In terms of role, functions and powers. Shatrughan Lal
