Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will meet chief ministers on Thursday to finalise the 3-year action agenda. The draft was already circulated at NITI Aayog’s third Governing Council meeting in April. Several chief ministers have already submitted their comments on the draft framework to the policy think-tank, a senior official said today.
Once finalised by the Aayog after taking inputs from the chief ministers, it will be referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chairman, he added. The draft paper had suggested a host of reforms in taxation, agriculture and energy sectors, with an aim to accelerate growth and increase employment opportunities. There is also a focus on the need for recalibrating the role of the government by limiting its involvement in activities that do not serve any public purpose.
