Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a rare meeting with his council of ministers that lasted over four hours, focusing on reforms and delivery to achieve the goal of Viksit Bharat by 2047.

The meeting, attended by cabinet ministers and state ministers, aimed to assess the implementation of various policies and programmes ahead of the second anniversary of Modi's third term on June 9.

Modi reviewed the work of nine key sectors, including the economy, agriculture, labour, and the energy sector, as India battles challenges due to the war in West Asia.

The PM emphasized the need to look for fuel alternatives, such as biogas and renewable energy sources, due to the disruption in oil, gas, and essential supplies.

He also reiterated his direction to dispense with red-tape and ensure transparency in government functioning, urging ministers to simplify processes and disseminate government accomplishments.

The meeting saw presentations on nine key sectors, including power, agriculture, labour, foreign affairs, and infrastructure, and discussed the quick implementation of central schemes and monitoring their progress.

Modi stressed the importance of bringing comfort to people's lives and ensuring 'ease of living' without interference in their lives.
