Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Governing Council of NITI Aayog is the premier body responsible for fostering cooperative federalism in India. Its composition includes the Prime Minister of India, who serves as the Chairperson [2]. The council also comprises the Chief Ministers of all States and the Chief Ministers of Union Territories (UTs) that have legislative assemblies, such as Delhi and Puducherry. For other Union Territories, the Lieutenant Governors serve as members [3]. Additionally, the council includes ex-officio members, full-time members, and special invitees [4]. The President of India is not a member of the NITI Aayog or its Governing Council, as the body is an executive institution headed by the Prime Minister to facilitate direct interaction between the Centre and the States [1].
