Every state must recognise its strength, define its targets and develop a
roadmap to achieve the same as this is essential for India to become a
$5 trillion economy, Prime Minister Narenda Modi said at the national
conference of Chief Secretaries which concluded on Friday.
"Urban
areas will be key in future development and employment generation.
Therefore, urban local bodies must be strengthened, and urban planning
should be done innovatively," Prime Minister Modi said.
The
conference, chaired by the Prime Minister, was attended by young
district collectors and magistrates from states and union territories as
well as the officials from Union ministries.
Appreciating the
extensive sessions, the Prime Minister said that the deliberations were
useful in laying out a roadmap for the sectors. He stressed that the
Centre and states work together as "Team India". The action points and
fresh ideas discussed at the conference must be implemented without
delay, he said.
Emphasising on minimum government and maximum
governance, Prime Minister Modi stressed the need to ensure greater ease
of living in India. He also said that decriminalisation of minor
offences should be taken up in mission mode.
He also spoke on the
usage of drones in the service industry, such as for the delivery of
essential drugs or horticultural products especially in hilly areas,
which would add more economic value to the farmers and service
providers.
Urging that all vacancies across state government
departments must be filled, the Prime Minister said the states must
identify such vacancies under each sector and fill them. "The states
must try to integrate anganwadis with primary schools to achieve the
goals of the National Education Policy," he added.
While
stressing on the need for improving the usage of technology in all
government schemes and programmes for creating interoperability of
datasets of the Centre and states, the Prime Minister also said that
PM-GatiShakti should be appropriately implemented to attract investment.
