Background
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair a high-level meeting with secretaries of all central ministries in New Delhi. The session, set for 4:00 PM, will likely center on policy reforms and steps to improve the ease of doing business across the country.
Modi recently wrapped up his official visit to Seychelles. This upcoming session will be Modi’s second major institutional engagement with senior bureaucrats in two months. The pace reflects the government’s steady push to coordinate closely with top administrative officials.
The Prime Minister has directed ministers to engage more actively with the public and spotlight the government’s achievements over the past 12 years. Sources familiar with the planning describe the broader exercise as a significant mid-term review of government performance.
A related high-level meeting drew participation from Union Cabinet ministers, ministers of state with independent charge, and ministers of state. The Council of Ministers currently includes 30 cabinet ministers besides the Prime Minister, five ministers of state holding independent charge, and 36 ministers of state.
The back-to-back engagements suggest the government is pushing to align its bureaucratic and political wings around shared priorities. With reforms on ease of doing business expected to dominate discussions, officials anticipate further announcements once the meeting concludes.
The sessions form part of a broader pattern of stocktaking exercises the government has carried out at regular intervals, aimed at ensuring ministries stay on track with policy goals and public communication strategies heading into the coming months.
