New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to chair the 9th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog today at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre, New Delhi. The focal theme of this year’s meeting, ‘Viksit Bharat@2047,’ aims to chart a strategic roadmap for transforming India into a developed nation by its 100th year of independence.
The key agenda for the meeting will be the presentation and review of the Approach Paper for the Vision Document, which lays out the framework for the ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’ initiative. The document will detail strategic goals and implementation plans designed to drive substantial progress in various sectors, with the overarching objective of improving living standards and ensuring comprehensive development across both urban and rural areas.
A significant component of the meeting will be the discussion on enhancing collaborative governance between the Central and State Governments. The goal is to foster a participatory approach that ensures effective execution of development programs and policies. By refining the delivery mechanisms of government interventions, the meeting aims to address diverse regional needs and promote equitable development.
The role of state governments will be critically examined, with a focus on how they can align their policies and initiatives with the national vision of ‘Viksit Bharat@2047.’ This alignment is expected to drive a more coordinated approach to development, ensuring that state-level strategies complement and support the broader national goals.
The Governing Council Meeting will bring together top leaders and policymakers, providing a platform for strategic discussions and collaborative planning. The outcomes of this meeting are anticipated to be instrumental in advancing India’s development agenda and achieving the long-term vision of a developed nation.
