Entrepreneurship and skill development is exactly what we need, especially for our youth. But I'm cautiously optimistic - we've had many such meetings before. The real test will be implementation at the district and block level. Also, I hope they specifically address women's entrepreneurship and create safe spaces for women in business. 🤞
Good that health and nutrition are being prioritized. But I'd like to see more concrete data sharing between states. For instance, Kerala's health model vs Bihar's challenges - we need a platform for states to learn from each other's successes and failures. The "Team India" spirit should mean transparent data and honest discussions, not just photo opportunities.
As someone working in early childhood education, I'm thrilled to see "Early Childhood Education: Laying the Foundation" in the recommendations from the Chief Secretaries' conference. This is where we build the base for everything else. But please don't just talk about anganwadis - give them proper infrastructure, trained staff, and better pay. Our children deserve quality from day one!
I'm an Indian working in Silicon Valley but keeping close tabs on India's development. The DPI focus is smart - our UPI success proves we can build world-class digital infrastructure. Viksit Bharat needs to be about quality of life, not just GDP numbers. Clean air, good healthcare, and real job creation should be the metrics. Wishing the council all the best! 🙏
Inclusive development is a great slogan but we need to see how it translates for marginalized
