The high-level meeting focused on administrative efficiency, faster decision-making and the long-term goal of Viksit Bharat 2047. Modi said the vision of a developed India should be treated as a commitment, not merely as a slogan.
The meeting brought together Union Cabinet ministers, ministers of state with independent charge and ministers of state. It was seen as a major review exercise as the NDA government moves through the early phase of its third consecutive term.
