Modi Chairs Two-Day Chintan Shivir on Government Priorities
Prime Minister Narendra Modi led a two-day meeting called a Chintan Shivir in New Delhi.
Ministers talked about work the government is already doing.
They also discussed future plans, welfare programs, infrastructure and reforms.
A main goal was to help build Viksit Bharat@2047.
This means planning for the country’s long-term development.
Ministers presented plans from their ministries during the first day.
The meeting followed earlier discussions involving other ministers.
Reports disagree about whether only Cabinet ministers attended or the entire Council of Ministers.
More meetings may happen soon.
