Explanation:

Pt Jawaharlal Nehru was the first chairman of the Planning commission of India. The Planning Commission (Hindi: Yojana Ayog) was an institution in the Government of India, which formulated India's Five-Year Plans, among other functions.
In his first Independence Day speech in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced his intention to dissolve the Planning Commission. It has since been replaced by a new institution named NITI Aayog.
