PM-led NITI meeting to focus on roadmap for Viksit Bharat
Mann, Vijay, Shivakumar, Revanth to attend
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the 11th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog in the national capital on Thursday.
Newly sworn-in Chief Ministers DK Shivakumar and C Joseph Vijay along with Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and his Andhra counterpart Chandrababu Naidu as well as other NDA chief ministers will be in attendance.
In line with the PM’s vision of ‘Team India’ for a Viksit Bharat, this year’s theme of ‘Inclusive Human Development for Viksit Bharat @2047’, focuses on the wellbeing and development of every Indian, regardless of age, region, gender, or socio-economic background.
The Governing Council Meeting will deliberate on the approach to realise this vision and translate it into concrete and measurable outcomes for every citizen across the country.
“The discussions will focus on collectively charting an implementation roadmap that leverages key enablers, including governance, digital public infrastructure (DPI), convergence, partnerships and data-driven systems, alongside a structured mechanism to track short, medium and long-term outcomes, ensuring accountability and measurable impact. A key thrust will be on aligning state visions with the national vision on inclusive human development, reinforcing a unified and collaborative approach towards equitable and sustainable growth,” an official statement said.
In addition, the meeting will review recommendations emerging from the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries held in December 2025. The conference focused on five thematic areas, namely, early childhood education, schooling, skilling, higher education, and sports and extracurricular activities.
The deliberations are expected to contribute to shaping policy priorities and strengthening collaboration between the Centre and states in pursuit of the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
The meeting is also expected to deliberate on measures to promote entrepreneurship, strengthen skilling initiatives and create sustainable employment opportunities across the country.
The 11th Governing Council Meeting will be attended by Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors/administrators of union territories, Union ministers as ex-officio members and special invitees and the vice-chairman, members and the CEO of NITI Aayog.
