Modi To Chair NITI Aayog Governing Council Meet

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the 11th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog on Thursday, with a focus on inclusive human development.

According to NITI Aayog, the theme of the meeting, ‘Inclusive Human Development for Viksit Bharat @2047’, is aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision of ‘Team India’ and aims to promote the well-being of citizens across regions and socio-economic groups.

“The Governing Council Meeting will deliberate on the approach to realise this vision and translate it into concrete, measurable outcomes for every citizen across the country,” the NITI Aayog said in a statement.

The council is expected to discuss an Inclusive Human Development Framework based on four pillars: foundational human capital and future-ready skills; employment, entrepreneurship and decentralised growth; health, nutrition and wellbeing; and equity and dignity.

“Measures for promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing skilling, and creating sustainable employment opportunities across the country will also be deliberated upon in the meeting,” it said.

Deliberations will also cover an implementation roadmap focusing on governance, digital public infrastructure, convergence, partnerships and data-driven systems, along with mechanisms to track outcomes across timelines.

“A key thrust will be on aligning State Visions with the National Vision on Inclusive Human Development, reinforcing a unified and collaborative approach toward equitable and sustainable growth,” the statement said.

The meeting will also take up recommendations of the fifth national conference of Chief Secretaries held from December 26 to 28 last year, which focused on areas including early childhood education, schooling, skilling, higher education, and sports and extracurricular activities.

Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors and Administrators of Union Territories, Union Ministers, and senior officials of NITI Aayog are expected to attend the meeting.
