Explanation:
The National Development Council (NDC), Planning Commission, and Zonal Councils do not find mention in the Constitution of India.
The NDC and Planning Commission were statutory bodies created through executive resolutions, and their functions and composition were determined by the Government of India. The NDC was replaced by the NITI Aayog in 2015.
Zonal Councils, on the other hand, were established under the States Reorganization Act of 1956 to promote interstate cooperation and coordination among certain specified states. They operate on an ad hoc and temporary basis and are not mentioned in the Constitution.
Therefore, all three bodies - NDC, Planning Commission, and Zonal Councils - do not find mention in the Constitution.
