Yes, I do agree with the statement. 

  • The planning commission enjoyed the powers to allocate funds to ministry and state government. 
  • NITI Aayog/Think Tank is an advisory body that performs the function of allocation of funds.
  • On 31st January 2015, Planning Commission was replaced by NITI Aayog for making policies and to implement them. 
  • NITI Aayog aimed at expanding the role of the states, making the role of the state stronger in collaboration with the center.
