New Delhi, Jan 6: Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the national conference of Chief Secretaries focused on achieving rapid and sustained economic growth in partnership with the states, in the national capital today.
The three-day conference began yesterday.
The idea behind this conference is that cooperative federalism, through Central Ministries and departments working together with States in seamless coordination, is an essential pillar for the development and progress of New India.
With this vision in mind, PM Modi conceptualised this conference, which was held for the first time in June 2022 in Dharamshala.
This year, the National Conference of Chief Secretaries is being held from January 5 and will conclude on January 7. More than 200 bureaucrats comprising representatives of the central government, chief secretaries and other senior officials of all States/Union Territories and domain experts, are participating in the conference, said the statement from Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
This is not an isolated example of when PM Modi has tried to leverage Cooperative Federalism to usher in efficiency and synergy in order to respond to many of India's intractable challenges. In the last 8 years, PM Modi has worked to make the process of policy-making and implementation more collaborative and consultative, thus making India more federally governed.
The statement list numerous occasions where PM Modi has taken steps to strengthen the federal structure of India and improve centre-state relations.
The Aspirational Districts Program was launched by PM Modi in January 2018 with the objective of expediting the transformation of the most backward districts across the country through the convergence of government programmes and schemes.
The broad strategy of the Aspirational Districts Programme includes: Convergence - between Central and State Schemes; Collaboration - between Centre, State, District Administration, Development Partners and Citizens; and Competition - between Districts. |
