Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The National Development Council (NDC) or the Rashtriya Vikas Parishad is the apex body for decision making and deliberations on development matters in India, presided over by the Prime Minister. It was set up on 6 August 1952 to strengthen and mobilize the effort and resources of the nation in support of the Plan, to promote common economic policies in all vital spheres, and to ensure the balanced and rapid development of all parts of the country. The Council comprises the Prime Minister, the Union Cabinet Ministers, and Chief Ministers of all States or their substitutes, representatives of the Union Territories and the members of the Commissions. It is an extra-constitutional and non-statutory body. Its status is advisory to Planning Commission but not binding. NDC helps in the implementation of the Plan and helps in the resources of the country being pooled together for uniform development of all regions. The Five-year Plans are finally approved by the National Development Council.
