Towards this objective, it was felt that wide-ranging consultations with all stake holders including various Ministries of the Union Government, all State Governments, Local Bodies, Panchayats and Political parties of each State Government needed to be expeditiously initiated.
The Commission recognised that there was also need to undertake analytical papers, analysis from leading research organisations within the country and elsewhere to suitably address the Terms of Reference.
The Commission was keen to seek academic inputs and inter-actions with leading Think Tanks and domain knowledge experts which would assist the Commission in its work.
The Commission approved the setting-up of its office at Jawahar Vyapar Bhawan on Janpath in New Delhi.
