New Delhi, Aug 19 (IBNS): After scrapping the decades-old Planning Commission, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday has invited people to share their ideas about what should be the replacement would look like.

On his own Twitter account, he has asked the citizens to participate in giving suggestions to the Government. He wrote, "A special Open Forum has been created on MyGov for suggestions on the new Institution. Let the ideas flow!”

During his first Independence Day speech from the Red Fort on 15th August, PM Modi clearly suggested that his Govt. is going to abolish the 64-year old Planning Commission and that his Govt. has already started working on finding a better replacement.

There he advocated that the new institution will cater the aspirations of the present day demands and will address the current challenges. Today he reiterated the same thing on the micro-blogging site.

He wrote, "We envision the proposed Institution as one that caters to the aspirations of 21st century India & strengthens participation of the States." While inviting nation's suggestions, he also stated that those ideas will help in the creation of new institution.

Modi said in the micro-blogging website, "Inviting you to share your ideas on what shape the new Institution to replace the Planning Commission can take."
