PM Modi to hold meetings with Council of Ministers next week

Indian PM Modi is likely to discuss the Centre’s plans for the next three years with his Council of Ministers.

According to government sources, a detailed briefing followed by a plan of action is expected to be chartered out in the three-day meeting starting August 10.

This marks the first time Prime Minister Narendra Modi is conducting a meeting stretched up to three days since the reshuffle and expansion of the Union Cabinet. Central government’s senior ministers have been asked to come prepared with the details of the works performed by their Ministries.

The meeting is set to take place at Parliament Annexe in the middle of the Parliament’s monsoon session. Sources have claimed that the Centre might hold deliberations on its future course of actions as well as the schemes that are required to be implemented to make the lives of people easier.

Furthermore, there would be a thrust on “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and ways to fight challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Ministries are needed to tailor their schemes for the states where Assembly polls will be held in the next three years.

A source stated, “There is so much the Modi government wants to do and each ministry is expected to deliver on certain schemes. These meetings will lay the foundation of what the government is expected to do in the next three years. In between, there are many state elections. The ministries, too, need to tailor their schemes for their states as well.”
