In one fell swoop, Modi announced the abolition of one of the most important of these institutions: the powerful Planning Commission, which had continued to churn out Soviet-style “Five-Year Plans” and remained at the heart of a centralized resource-allocation process. Its successor, the National Development and Reform Commission, will probably function more as a think tank – providing ideas and ensuring policy coherence, but with no power to allocate.
莫迪赫然宣布将抛弃这些机构中最重要的之一：炙手可热的计划委员会（Planning Commission），该机构一直负责苏联式的“五年计划”，同时也是集中资源配置程序的核心。其继任机构国家发展和改革委员会（National Development and Reform Commission）可能更加接近于智库——提供观点和确保政策一致性，但不再拥有配置权。
