general knowledge refresher Published this articles page no 25 Overall around 1400 stakeholders within and outside the Government were consulted and several iterations were undertaken to ensure that the document reflected the whole-of-the-government approach. One of NITIs key tasks and important mandates is to develop an output–outcome monitoring framework and rigorously evaluate Central Government schemes and initiatives. The Development Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO) undertake this. It completed the evaluation of 125 Centrally Sponsored Schemes to determine their continuation from the 14th Finance Commission to the 15th Finance Commission period. DMEO also supports the Department of Expenditure for preparing the outcome budget for over 65 ministries/ departments. DMEO reviews the progress of infrastructure departments of the Central Government for periodic review by the Prime Minister. It is further refining its methodology and strengthening its human resource base to improve the effectiveness of outcome-based performance evaluation. To improve governance at all levels of government DMEO is collaborating with State Governments for establishing similar capacity. Additionally NITI has been closely monitoring the progress of SDGs across all States and engaging with them to set up real-time technologybased monitoring capacities which will help mainstream SDGs in the development process in every State. NITI Aayog is also focused on nurturing an innovation ecosystem across the country. The Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) is a flagship initiative of NITI for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship across the length and breadth of the country based on a detailed study and deliberations on the innovation and entrepreneurial needs of India in the years ahead. AIM has adopted a holistic approach towards establishing an integrated ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship at school university industry levels linking NGOs venture capital and private industries. AIM promotes an innovative mindset in school students through Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs) which feeds into start-ups fostered by the Atal Incubation Centres (AICs). Over 7100 ATLs have been sanctioned thus far covering 90% of districts in India including 110 Aspirational Districts. In the years to come India needs to make similar persistent efforts wherein both the Central and State Governments work jointly to solve the countrys most complex issues and unleash growth. To meet the rising aspirations of our young population India needs to achieve and sustain a high rate of GDP growth for the next three decades. In pursuit of this goal continued structural reforms are crucial for laying new foundations to ensure sustained and inclusive growth. general knowledge refresher
