New Delhi:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has appointed 14 members to the
National Advisory Council in consultation with its chair Sonia
Gandhi, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) announced Tuesday.
The members of the high-profile NAC include eminent scientists,
academics, intellectuals and civil society activists. While four
members of the previous NAC — Aruna Roy, Jean Dreze, N.C. Saxena and
A.K. Shiva Kumar - have been renominated to the panel, the rest are
new faces.
The new names include agriculture scientist M.S. Swaminathan,
technocrat V. Krishnamurthy, also a member of Planning Commission,
economist Narendra Jadhav, Mirai Chatterjee, coordinator of social
security at NGO SEWA, civil rights activist Farah Naqvi,
vice-chancellor of North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Pramod
Tandon, and former IAS officer and social activist Harsh Mander.
Ram Dayal Munda, MP, entrepreneur Anu Aga of Thermax Ltd and Madhav
Gadgil of Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, have also been
nominated to the new NAC that is expected to push for inclusive
growth and social justice.
In its last incarnation during the first tenure of the United
Progressive Alliance, the NAC became identified with signature
social sector reforms such as introduction of the National Rural
Employment Guarantee Scheme and the Right to Information Act.
The NAC-II is expected to prioritise the Food Security Act.
