A new chapter unfolds at NITI Aayog with Nidhi Chhibber assuming additional CEO duties post BVR Subrahmanyam’s tenure end. This strategic placement ensures the policy body’s operations remain robust.
Chhibber, DG at DMEO, excels in scrutinizing government initiatives’ impacts. The 1994 Chhattisgarh IAS officer’s elevation highlights her pivotal role in performance auditing and policy refinement.
Previously, as CBSE Chairperson, she revolutionized educational assessments and reforms. Her scholarly background in History and Law, plus linguistic versatility, equips her for nuanced policy discourse.
Subrahmanyam’s departure caps a stellar career: from World Bank consultancy to PMO advisor, Commerce Secretary, and top bureaucratic posts in J&K and Chhattisgarh. His NITI era prioritized digital governance and the 2047 vision for a developed India.
NITI Aayog, born in 2015 from Planning Commission’s ashes, embodies cooperative federalism – integrating state visions into national strategies. Chhibber’s interim role will safeguard these principles.
Looking ahead, her stewardship could infuse new vigor into ongoing reforms, aligning India’s aspirations with actionable policies for inclusive advancement.
