Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The NITI Aayog is the premier policy think tank of the Government of India. Statement 1 is correct as the Prime Minister of India serves as the Chairperson of the NITI Aayog and heads its Governing Council [3]. Statement 2 is also correct because the Governing Council comprises the Chief Ministers of all States and Union Territories with Legislatures, as well as the Lieutenant Governors of other Union Territories [3]. Since Ladakh is a Union Territory without a legislature, it is represented in the Governing Council by its Lieutenant Governor [2]. The Governing Council serves as a platform for cooperative federalism, allowing for the active involvement of states and UTs in shaping national development priorities.
