NITI Aayog To Hold 8th Governing Council Meeting
NITI Aayog will be organising its eighth Governing Council Meeting on the theme of ‘Viksit Bharat @ 2047: Role of Team India’ on 27 May 2023, at the new Convention Centre in Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Eight prominent themes will be discussed during the day-long Meeting including Viksit Bharat@2047, Thrust on MSMEs, Infrastructure and Investments, Minimising Compliances, Women Empowerment, Health and Nutrition, Skill Development, and Gati Shakti for area development and social infrastructure.
The meeting will see the participation of Chief Ministers or Lt. Governors of all States and Union Territories, Union Ministers as ex-officio Members, and the Vice Chairman and Members of NITI Aayog. As Chairman of NITI Aayog, the Prime Minister will preside over the meeting.
As a preparatory prelude to the eighth Governing Council Meeting, the second Chief Secretaries Conference was held in January 2023 where these themes were extensively discussed. Wide-ranging stakeholder consultations and brainstorming sessions with subject experts, academia and practitioners were held prior to the Conference in order to gain well-rounded grassroot-level perspectives.
The second Chief Secretaries Conference, attended by the Prime Minister, brought together select Secretaries from the Government of India and Chief Secretaries from all States/UTs who proactively participated by sharing thematic best practices and policy insights.
