This evening at 4 PM, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will preside over a crucial meeting with the secretaries of all central ministries. Modi has previously set an ambitious goal for India to become a developed nation by 2047, marking a century of independence.

Key Agenda Items

The primary focus of this meeting is expected to be on enhancing reforms and improving the 'Ease of Doing Business'. PM Modi is anticipated to discuss various topics, including initiatives aimed at enhancing the 'Ease of Living' and the progress made in business facilitation. Sources indicate that several secretaries will present updates regarding their respective ministries, detailing operational advancements and various reforms. Additionally, PM Modi will review 'next-generation reforms' aimed at simplifying citizens' lives and ensuring business efficiency. He is likely to advise secretaries to concentrate on governance and service delivery, ensuring that no government initiatives, particularly those affecting the public, remain pending.

Priorities for the Next Decade

PM Modi has previously outlined reform priorities for the next decade, emphasizing that his government's 'Reform Express' has brought significant changes to the system, benefiting citizens greatly. The meeting may also focus on the GDP growth rate projections of 7.7% for the financial year 2025-26 and 7.8% for the fourth quarter. India's economy grew by 7.8% in the January-March quarter, surpassing estimates due to robust domestic demand and government spending, compared to a 7% increase a year earlier. Strong consumption and investment activities have contributed to an overall growth increase from 7.1% to 7.7% for FY25.

Commitment to Improving Living Standards

During a council meeting on June 21, PM Modi reiterated the government's commitment to enhancing the 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business', while also creating more opportunities for the youth.
