Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday held a marathon three-hour long meeting with his entire 45-member Council of Ministers to discuss accelerate decision-making process with an aim to revive the economy, attract greater investment and improve infrastructure.
The discussion veered around the 100-day agenda which Modi had asked his Ministers to identify for their respective Ministries, Modi also flagged certain issues related to governance on which he sought views of his Cabinet colleagues, sources said.
Modi is believed to have stressed to the Ministers that they should work cohesively and effectively so that the work undertaken by the Government is visible to the people.
The meeting took place against the backdrop of Modi’s 10-point agenda which includes increasing investment, completing infrastructure projects in a time-bound manner and exploiting natural resources, besides giving freedom to bureaucrats to take decisions and implement them.
Modi has already decided to empower individual ministries to take decisions and implement them speedily. In this regard, he scrapped on Saturday the empowered group of ministers (EGoMs) and group of ministers (GoMs), a legacy of the (UPA) Government.
