Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that Madhya Pradesh is committed to achieve the target of Rs 10 lakh crore GDP this year to make India a 5 trillion dollar economy by 2024.
NITI Aayog’s six-point agenda will be implemented in the state within the time-limit. In private sector, initiative can be taken to generate solar energy and develop forests in the degraded forest area spread over 30 lakh hectares in the state.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that the need of the hour is to use the amount received from the monetization of unusable public assets in a logical and scientific manner for development works.
Chouhan was expressing his views at the sixth virtual meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Mantralaya. Chief Secretary Iqbal Singh Bains was also present in the meeting.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi began the meeting saying that the Centre and States together worked against Corona, thus creating a good image of India in the world. Working in unison always brings good results.
Despite being an agriculture dominated country, we get edible oil from other countries, efforts must be made to produce it in the country itself. Other agricultural products should also be consumed here, for which the state should take initiative.
Possibilities available in this context must be explored. Prime Minister Modi said that priority must be given to Ease of Living along with Ease of Doing.
Unnecessary laws must be put to an end, focus should be on expectations of citizens.
Chouhan said that the Governing Council of NITI Aayog is an ideal platform for interaction between the centre and states and is an ideal example of cooperative federalism.
This has led to an effective mechanism for the Center and the State to deliberate and carry forward the development agenda, which continues to be used with full authenticity.
