With the goal of being a developed country by 2047, the NITI Aayog will help each state build up comparable organizations in place of its planning boards.

Regarding the proposal

The intention is to first establish such committees in 8–10 states before expanding to all by 2023.
Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Assam are the four states that have already started working on this; Maharashtra, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Gujarat are likely to follow suit soon.
The function of SIT: It will assist states in formulating policy, monitoring and evaluating government initiatives, and making recommendations for improved delivery methods or technology.
The Centre has set up 10 working groups under various secretaries to set those socio-economic goals to achieve sustainable, inclusive and job-creating high growth while addressing carbon footprint and energy security.

Need for Setting up NITI Aayog-like Bodies in States

The growth engines of the Indian economy are the states. With the exception of certain industries like defence, railroads, and highways, the national gross domestic product (GDP) growth is an average of state GDP growth rates.
The state government is largely in charge of health, education, and skill development.
The role of state governments is crucial for enhancing the business climate, land reforms, infrastructure developments, credit flows, and urbanization—all of which are essential for long-term economic success.
The majority of states haven't done much to revitalize their planning boards or departments, which once worked with the Planning Commission and created parallel state five-year plans with the Center.
The planning departments in the majority of states are on the verge of dissolution and are unsure of what they will be responsible for.

State assistance mission: To achieve the ambitious goal of making India a developed country by 2047, it is anticipated to offer help to states, including specialists from IIMs and IITs.
Professionals will be encouraged to enter SITs laterally in order to do excellent analytical work and provide sound policy recommendations.

Way Forward

The Niti Aayog and the proposed SITs will play a critical role in India achieving goals set for 2047, the 100th year of independence.
