How the exam will ask it
ପ୍ରିଲିମ୍ସ
- NITI Aayog is a non-statutory, non-constitutional body set up by a Union Cabinet resolution in 2015 to replace the Planning Commission.
- Special Campaign 6.0 targets two goals: Swachhata (cleanliness) in office spaces and disposal of pending references in government work.
- SDG budgeting links State budget allocations to the Sustainable Development Goals, and NITI Aayog supports States on it through its State Support Mission.
ମେନ୍ସ
GS2 Governance: administrative pendency and poor office hygiene weaken service delivery, so the annual Special Campaigns set time-bound targets for clearing references and records. NITI Aayog's State Support Mission and SDG budgeting workshops extend this by tying State budgets to outcomes. The way forward is to institutionalise these drives through e-office, regular monitoring and outcome-based budgeting, so they do not stay one-off annual events.
