New Delhi, May 25 (NationPress) The meeting of the NDA chief ministers and deputy CMs commenced here on Sunday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his key Cabinet members present.

All BJP-led states and allies participated in this significant gathering.

During the session, the leaders tuned into PM Modi’s Mann Ki Baat address, marking the first since Operation Sindoor. In this monthly radio broadcast, PM Modi praised the Armed Forces and highlighted that the operation showcases a transforming India, united in its fight against terrorism and embracing self-reliance.

Leaders paid their respects to the 26 individuals who tragically lost their lives due to terrorist actions on April 22 in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. In response to this attack, India initiated Operation Sindoor, which successfully targeted and dismantled nine terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir through precise military action.

Sources indicate that the meeting will adopt a resolution to commend the armed forces and PM Modi for the achievements of Operation Sindoor. Another resolution is expected to express appreciation for the Central government's decision to conduct caste enumeration in the upcoming census.

This NDA gathering aims to discuss the vision and strategic action plan for realizing Viksit Bharat @2047. Central to this meeting is the principle that India’s development hinges on the growth of its states—Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat.

The significance of this meeting is heightened as India experiences a robust wave of economic and governance transformation. The next two decades present a pivotal chance for the nation to transition from a developing country to a global economic and political leader.

Discussions will focus on how individual states can actively contribute to India’s goal of becoming a $30 trillion economy by 2047.

This meeting follows PM Modi's recent NITI Aayog meeting, where he encouraged states to collaborate with the Centre to accelerate national development.

PM Modi is anticipated to stress that states should formulate bold, inclusive, and future-oriented vision documents that align with national objectives while being rooted in local realities. With many states now advancing in their own Viksit Rajya @2047 plans, this meeting will facilitate the exchange of progress, best practices, and challenges.

A key emphasis will be placed on ensuring that each state establishes clear goals across economic, social, and environmental sectors. These objectives will encompass growth in Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), job creation, improvements in health and education, gender equity, climate resilience, and water and energy security.

States will be encouraged to implement a SOAR (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, and Results) framework, shifting the development outlook from constraints to capabilities and measurable outcomes.

The meeting will also evaluate the progress of ongoing transformational initiatives that have significantly impacted lives nationwide, such as Swachh Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana, PM Awas Yojana, and Jal Jeevan Mission.

PM Modi is likely to urge Chief Ministers to establish dedicated Project Monitoring Units (PMUs), real-time War Rooms, and Monitoring and Evaluation Cells for ensuring transparent and accountable delivery of programs.
