NITI Aayog's meet today to discuss big plans for the future

April 23, 2017 10:03

Nearly 30 chief ministers are likely to get a broad preview of Modi Government's 15-year vision document for the country that has been in the works for months at today's meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the think-tank's third meeting that is slated to start around 10 am. The governing council is meeting after a gap of 21 months and is expected to focus on the big changes in the way India is going to plan for the future for over six hours.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet chief ministers of BJP-ruled states later on Sunday evening.

Some non-BJP CM are expected to skip the meeting and depute their ministers instead. Sources said West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was, as in the past, expected to give the meeting a miss. The state would be represented by Finance Minister Amit Mitra. It is not clear if Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will find the time for the meet either since it clashes with polls to the three municipal corporations in the city.
