Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 and 3 only
The National Development Council is an advisory body and is not an internal organ of the erstwhile Planning Commission, so statement 1 is incorrect. ‘Economic and Social Planning’ appears as Entry 20 of the Concurrent List (Seventh Schedule), making statement 2 correct. Article 243G directs that Panchayats be endowed with powers to prepare plans for economic development and social justice, so statement 3 is correct. Hence statements 2 and 3 only.
