Prime Minister Chairs Council of Ministers Meeting; Addresses Women’s and Poverty-Related Issues

The government’s initiatives in the social sector were a significant focus at the meeting. Held at the Sushma Swaraj Bhawan, the five-hour meeting assessed the progress made on the first 100 days agenda of the third term of the BJP-led NDA government. The meeting emphasized measures for women, the poor, youth, and farmers, and was attended by secretaries from various government departments.

Another key focus of the meeting was to raise awareness about new schemes and policy decisions that have been implemented since the government took office in June. Officials from different departments presented the progress made by their ministries on the 100-day agenda. The NDA government has maintained its focus on infrastructure development, with approvals for projects worth over Rs 2.30 lakh, including new railway lines, ports, airports, and industrial smart cities to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

The meeting took place amidst incidents of violence against women in West Bengal, Maharashtra, and other parts of the country, which led to protests. *(Please note that this text has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed. )*
