New Delhi [India], June 8 (HBTV): Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Saini on Saturday participated in the 10th Governing Council meeting of NITI Aayog at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, reaffirming his commitment to building a 'developed state, developed city, developed municipality, and developed village' to achieve the vision of Viksit Bharat.

The meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and brought together Chief Ministers, Lieutenant Governors of States and Union Territories, Union Ministers, the Vice Chairman, Members, and the CEO of NITI Aayog. The primary agenda was to discuss the roadmap for achieving Viksit Rajya, Viksit Bharat 2047—a developed India by the centenary of independence.

Posting on X, CM Saini said the Haryana government is consistently formulating and implementing policies aimed at transforming the lives of every family in the state.

‘Under the guidance of the Prime Minister, we all have to work together towards building a developed state, developed city, developed municipality, and developed village to fulfil the goal of Viksit Bharat. We are constantly formulating and implementing policies to bring about a change in the life of every family member,’ CM Saini posted.

Earlier in the day, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma also shared his experience at the meet, stating that he had ‘received the invaluable guidance’ of Prime Minister Modi.

‘Today I participated in the 10th meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog on the topic of Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat @ 2047, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi and received the invaluable guidance of the Prime Minister,’ CM Sharma wrote on X.

The Governing Council meeting provides a collaborative platform for the Centre and States/Union Territories to address development challenges and build consensus on making India a developed country.

According to an official statement, the Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat initiative urges states to craft bold, long-term, and inclusive vision documents that align with national priorities while addressing local realities. These visions are expected to include time-bound targets, with emphasis on leveraging each state's unique geographic and demographic strengths.

States are encouraged to focus on human development, economic growth, sustainability, technology, and governance reforms. Data-driven processes and outcome-based strategies are key, supported by Project Monitoring Units, ICT-enabled infrastructure, and Monitoring and Evaluation Cells to ensure accountability and midcourse correction.

Much of the deliberations centred on the theme of ‘Promoting Entrepreneurship, Employment and Skilling—Leveraging the Demographic Dividend’. The interactive format facilitated rich exchanges of ideas and collaborative problem-solving approaches.
