The correct answer is Option B: Joram Aniya. Narendra Modi approved the appointment of Dr Joram Aniya as a full-time member of NITI Aayog on 2 May 2026, making her the first person from Arunachal Pradesh and the Northeast in this role. NITI Aayog, established in 2015 replacing the Planning Commission, functions as the apex policy think tank of the Government of India with the Prime Minister as its Chairperson. With this appointment, the number of full-time members increased to seven, who collectively form the core advisory structure of NITI Aayog. Dr Joram Aniya has over 18 years of experience in teaching, research, and public policy, and is an academician, writer, and folklorist. She became the first woman from the Nyishi community and the first scholar from Arunachal Pradesh to earn a PhD in Hindi studies. Before joining NITI Aayog, she served as Head of Hindi Department at Dera Natung Government College, Itanagar, and as a member of the Arunachal Pradesh Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Commission. Pema Khandu highlighted her appointment, reflecting its significance for Arunachal Pradesh and Northeast representation in national policy bodies.
