CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of cooperative federalism during the recent Niti Aayog Governing Council meeting, urging states and the Centre to function “like Team India.” Highlighting the significance of unity in policy-making and development, Modi stressed that states must work collaboratively with the central government to achieve long-term national goals, including economic growth, infrastructure, education, and health reforms.

Key takeaways from the meeting include discussions on strategies for Viksit Bharat@2047, reducing imports, boosting local manufacturing, and the integration of technology in governance. Modi encouraged states to share best practices and align with national objectives while also addressing local priorities.

The meeting was attended by several chief ministers, union ministers, and senior officials who deliberated on India’s development roadmap. Notably, some opposition-ruled states skipped the event, highlighting the need for political consensus in nation-building.

Modi’s appeal to work as “Team India” underscores the vision of inclusive governance and shared responsibility. As India gears up to achieve ambitious developmental milestones by 2047—its 100th year of independence—the Centre-state synergy remains critical to national progress.

The Niti Aayog meeting reaffirmed its role as a think tank driving inclusive and sustainable policymaking.
