New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a high-level meeting with the secretaries of all Central government ministries and departments on Tuesday to review the progress of key reforms and regulations aimed at improving the country’s Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living.
According to sources, the meeting will focus on advancing the government’s vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by simplifying regulations, promoting ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and enhancing administrative efficiency across ministries and departments.
The meeting will mark the Prime Minister’s second comprehensive interaction with the country’s top civil servants. It is expected to begin at 4.30 p.m. and will include presentations by secretaries on the progress of reforms, policy implementation and developmental initiatives undertaken by their respective ministries.
Discussions are expected to centre on the government’s flagship reform agenda, particularly measures to further improve the Ease of Doing Business and Ease of Living. Senior officials are also likely to present updates on structural reforms, assess implementation progress and identify areas requiring greater attention to ensure timely execution of key policy initiatives.
The review assumes added significance as the Centre has recently launched the ambitious “52 Reforms in 52 Weeks” initiative across several ministries, including Railways, with clearly defined implementation timelines. Prime Minister Modi has consistently emphasised the importance of achieving measurable outcomes within stipulated deadlines, making periodic reviews a crucial component of the government’s governance.
The meeting is expected to provide an opportunity for ministries to assess progress, address implementation challenges, and strengthen coordination to accelerate reforms that improve public service delivery, reduce regulatory burdens, and enhance the ease of doing business for industries, as well as the ease of living for citizens.
Earlier on Monday, Prime Minister Modi concluded his three-day State visit to the Seychelles.
Before departing for New Delhi, he greeted members of the Indian community gathered outside the airport to bid him farewell. People carrying Indian flags chanted “Modi, Modi” and “Vande Mataram” as the Prime Minister interacted with them. PM Modi paid floral tributes at the Mahatma Gandhi statue at Peace Park in Seychelles.
On Sunday, PM Modi attended the golden jubilee celebrations of Seychelles’ National Day as the Guest of Honour at the invitation of Seychelles President Patrick Herminie.
