The formation of a new think tank by the government last September is being watched by many as to how it will function and how its relationship with other similar entities within the government machine will evolve.
While government officials claimed the objectives and work scope of Niti Anusandhan Pratisthan, which literally means Policy Research Academy, would be completely different from the National Planning Commission, many have foreseen a turf war between the two entities .
The National Planning Commission is the government’s apex advisory body for formulating a national vision, periodic plans and policies for development. (The Kathmandu Post)
