PM Modi to chair 11th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog on June 11
New Delhi, June 10
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the 11th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog on Thursday at Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre, New Delhi.
According to an official release, in line with the Prime Minister's vision of 'Team India' for a Viksit Bharat, this year's theme, 'Inclusive Human Development for Viksit Bharat @2047', focuses on the well-being and development of every Indian, regardless of age, region, gender, or socio-economic background.
The Governing Council Meeting will deliberate on the approach to realise this vision and translate it into concrete, measurable outcomes for every citizen across the country.
This Governing Council Meeting will bring together Chief Ministers and Lieutenant Governors to discuss the Inclusive Human Development Framework, anchored around four core pillars: (i) Foundational Human Capital and Future-Ready Skills; (ii) Productive Employment, Entrepreneurship and Decentralised Growth; (iii) Health, Nutrition and Wellbeing; and (iv) Equity and Dignity for All. Measures for promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing skilling, and creating sustainable employment opportunities across the country will also be deliberated upon in the meeting, as per the release.
The discussions will further focus on collectively charting an Implementation Roadmap that leverages key enablers, including Governance, Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), Convergence, Partnerships, and Data-driven Systems, alongside a structured mechanism to track short, medium, and long-term outcomes, ensuring accountability and measurable impact. A key thrust will be on aligning State Visions with the National Vision on Inclusive Human Development, reinforcing a unified and collaborative approach toward equitable and sustainable growth.
The Governing Council of NITI Aayog will also focus on the recommendations of the 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries held from December 26 to 28, 2025. Recommendations were made during 5th National Conference of Chief Secretaries on the following five key themes: (i) Early Childhood Education: Laying the Foundation; (ii) Schooling: Building Blocks; (iii) Skilling: Future-Ready Workforce; (iv) Higher Education: Knowledge Economy; and (v) Sports & Extracurricular: Beyond Classrooms.
The 11th Governing Council Meeting will be attended by Chief Ministers of States and UTs, Lieutenant Governors/Administrators of Union Territories, Union Ministers as Ex officio Members and Special Invitees, and the Vice Chairman, Members and the CEO of NITI Aayog, the release stated.

Interesting to see the emphasis on Digital Public Infrastructure. That's something India has done remarkably well with Aadhaar and UPI. If they can replicate that approach for education and skilling, it could really transform rural areas.
I appreciate the focus on early childhood education and skilling. But we've had so many summits and meetings before; I'm tired of just announcements. Where is the accountability? The article mentions tracking outcomes, which is good, but I'll believe it when I see actual results in our villages.
As someone who works in education policy, I'm impressed by the structured approach here. The five themes from the Chief Secretaries conference align well with what we see globally - starting from early childhood through to higher education and extracurriculars. NITI Aayog seems to be learning from best practices.
Ek baat toh hai, atleast they're bringing all Chief Ministers together. Team India approach is good. But I really want to see concrete action on employment - itne saare graduates hain lekin naukri nahi. Make in India ke saath saath, skill development pe focus hona chahiye.
The Inclusive Human Development Framework sounds comprehensive, but I worry about the gap between policy and implementation. Digital Public Infrastructure is great, but what about states with poor internet connectivity? Need to address these ground realities first.
