Question and options
Which of the following is NOT a statutory body?
- Central Vigilance Commission
- NITI Aayog
- National Human Rights Commission
- University Grants Commission
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - NITI Aayog
NITI Aayog, which replaced the Planning Commission in 2015, was set up (like the Planning Commission in 1950) by an executive Cabinet resolution, so it is not a statutory body. The CVC (CVC Act 2003), NHRC (Protection of Human Rights Act 1993) and UGC (UGC Act 1956) are statutory bodies.
