Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to chair the 9th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog on Saturday at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre, the government think tank announced on Friday.
The meeting, centered on the theme “Viksit Bharat@2047,” will focus on India’s path to becoming a developed nation by 2047. A key agenda item is the discussion of the Approach Paper for the Vision Document on Viksit Bharat @2047.
The meeting aims to foster participative governance and collaboration between the Centre and State Governments, enhancing the quality of life for both rural and urban populations by strengthening the delivery mechanisms of government interventions.
The role of individual states in realizing the Viksit Bharat @2047 goal will be a major point of deliberation. This comes as India progresses towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy, with its GDP expected to surpass $5 trillion and aspirations to reach $30 trillion by 2047.
The meeting will also address recommendations from the 3rd National Conference of Chief Secretaries held in December 2023. Special sessions on cyber security, the aspirational districts and blocks programme, and the application of AI in governance are also on the agenda.
The Prime Minister is the Chairperson of the NITI Aayog. Other Attendees will include Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of States and Union Territories, Union Ministers as Ex-officio Members and Special Invitees, and the Vice Chairman and Members of NITI Aayog.
