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.
