The 10th Governing Council meet was chaired by PM Modi earlier today. The meet brought together the Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors of States and Union Territories, Union Ministers, the Vice Chairman, Members, and the CEO of NITI Aayog to deliberate on the roadmap for achieving 'Viksit Rajya, Viksit Bharat 2047' - a developed India by 2047.
The meeting provides a platform for the Centre and States/Union Territories to deliberate on the nation's development challenges and build consensus on how States can be the building blocks for making India a developed country.
Earlier today, Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami said that the meeting involved important issues related to the state's development and was organised to realise the resolve of 'Viksit Rajya, Viksit Bharat 2047' (Developed States-Developed India).
In a post on X, Uttarakhand CM Dhami wrote, "I am participating in the 10th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog held in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss important issues related to the development of the state. This meeting, organised to realise the resolve of 'Developed States-Developed India 2047' under the able leadership of the Prime Minister, will ensure strong participation of the states."
According to an official statement, the idea of Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat calls for States to craft bold, long-term, and inclusive vision documents aligned with national priorities yet grounded in local realities.
These visions must include time-bound targets, and states must leverage their unique geographic and demographic advantages while focusing on human development, economic growth, sustainability, technology, and governance reforms.
The focus can be on data-driven processes and outcome-based transformation, supported by Project Monitoring Units, ICT-enabled Infrastructure and Monitoring and Evaluation Cells to ensure accountability and midcourse correction.
Most of the meeting's deliberations focused on "Promoting Entrepreneurship, Employment and Skilling--Leveraging the Demographic Dividend."
The interactive format allowed for rich exchanges of ideas and collaborative problem-solving approaches. (ANI)
