'Dimagi Naxal' row revives debate over the NAC: What was it, and how influential was it?

The RSS mouthpiece Organiser on Friday linked the former National Advisory Council to the ongoing "Dimagi Naxal" debate. Formed in 2004, the body shaped UPA-era welfare laws like MGNREGA. Manmohan Singh said, "the government takes the advice of the NAC seriously." Many activists used this to influence key policy decisions.
