All these erudite speeches and policy forums make little difference to the well being of the public and it’s future prospects. It’s mind boggling to hear that the central government “outlay” on so-called development schemes is 6-7 lakh crore rupees per year (notice the casual imprecision with the sums – 6-7 lakhs – as though it were small change, speaks volumes for the lackadaisical attitude of the bureaucrat). Goes to basically keep the vast and useless machinery of the government departments in comfort, to no benefit of the common people. Meanwhile these so-called ivory tower economics experts and bureaucrats live the good life, convening from time to time to make high-sounding speeches. Time the whole jolly lot was made to work in the streets or in the villages and do some real work such as cleaning the drains or building houses, schools or clinics. FOR the cost of employing one bureaucrat, we could have 5 real workers who make a difference such as doctors or policemen or teachers.

A very polite way of saying that Niti Aayog is essentially worthless.
Meanwhile NITI Aayog -“To fir main kya karu? Job chhod du?”
