Correct Answer:
D. 1952
Explanation:
The National Development Council (NDC), or Rashtriya Vikas Parishad, was established on August 6, 1952, via an executive resolution by the Government of India. As the nation's supreme body for development decision-making, it was created to foster cooperation between the states and the central government in executing national plans.
Chaired by the Prime Minister, the council includes Union Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers of all states and Union Territories, and members of the Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog). Its primary objectives are to mobilize national resources in support of Five-Year Plans, promote uniform economic policies, and ensure balanced growth across all regions. Although it has become less active since the 2015 transition to NITI Aayog, it remains a vital entity in India's administrative history.
