Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet chief ministers tomorrow to discuss the structure, scope and role of the new body that will replace Planning Commission in the changed economic scenario under the new government.
"The prime minister will seek the views of the chief ministers on the shape and functions of the body which would replace the Planning Commission," said an official source.
According to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, empowering the states has been one of our critical beliefs. I do hope that after tomorrow's meeting, whatever decision will be taken, probably states will be in better position.
As per the agenda, Planning Secretary Sindhushree Khullar will make a presentation on the functions and contours of the new institution which will ultimately replace the Plan panel.
