Earlier Governing Council Meeting Focused on Inclusive Development

On June 11, Modi chaired the 11th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre in New Delhi.

Held under the theme 'Inclusive Human Development for Viksit Bharat @2047', the meeting was attended by Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors and Administrators representing 28 states and five Union Territories. Union Ministers and senior NITI Aayog officials also participated.

The discussions covered strengthening human capital, developing skills for future workforce requirements, promoting employment and entrepreneurship, improving healthcare and ensuring equity and dignity for citizens.

Participants also examined how Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and data-driven governance could improve public service delivery and support inclusive development.

The meeting underscored the importance of cooperative federalism and closer coordination between the Centre and state governments.

Among the specific issues discussed were expanding the Lakhpati Didi initiative, with a proposed increase in its beneficiary target from three crore to six crore, addressing the effects of climate change on agriculture and improving coordination between central and state-level policies.
