Who among the following is not a part of the National Development Council?
Detailed Explanation:
The National Development Council (NDC) comprised the Prime Minister, Union Cabinet Ministers, Chief Ministers of all states, and members of the Planning Commission (now replaced by NITI Aayog).
The Chairman of the Finance Commission was never a member of the NDC, as the Finance Commission is an independent constitutional body under Article 280. The Secretary of NITI Aayog and the Secretary of Ministry of Planning also do not hold membership—only the Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog participates.
Therefore, more than one option (1, 2, and 4) are not part of NDC, making Option 5 the correct answer.
Who was the Chairman of the First Law Commission in Independent India?
Detailed Explanation:
M. C. Setalvad served as the Chairman of the First Law Commission of Independent India, established in 1955. He was a distinguished jurist and served as India's first Attorney General (1950–1963).
Justice T. V. Venkatarama Aiyar chaired the Second Commission, Justice J. L. Kapur the Third, and Justice V. K. Sundaram the Fifth. Lord Macaulay headed the first commission during British rule in 1834, but that is distinct from the post-independence body.
Therefore, M. C. Setalvad was the first Chairman, making Option 3 the correct answer.
