Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday chaired a high-level meeting, which included Union ministers, secretaries and economists, to deliberate on the roadmap for the next generation reforms, one of the key announcements he had made in his Independence Day address.
In a post on X after the meeting, the Prime Minister said that his Government is committed to speedy reforms across all sectors, which will boost ease of living, doing business and improve prosperity.
“Chaired a meeting to discuss the roadmap for Next-Generation Reforms. We are committed to speedy reforms across all sectors, which will boost Ease of Living, Ease of Doing Business and prosperity,” PM Modi wrote.
Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari, Nirmala Sitharaman, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Piyush Goyal and Lalan Singh attended the meeting. The meeting assumed significance as it coincides with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s two-day visit to India, beginning today. It also came days before External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s visit to Russia as India seeks to step up engagements with Beijing and Moscow amid uncertainty in trade ties with the US.
PM Modi had on August 15 announced the formation of a task force for ‘next-generation reforms’ and revision of GST laws.
