Centre will leave no stone unturned to further ‘Ease of Living’: PM Modi
At a meeting of the council of ministers on June 21, PM Modi had said the government shall leave no stone unturned to further “Ease of Living”, “Ease of Doing Business” and increase opportunities for youngsters.
At that meeting, the prime minister had given a broad outline of the reform initiatives through which the country will become developed by 2047. He had repeatedly conveyed to the ministers that their aim and objective should always be bringing comfort to people’s lives and ensure “ease of living”.
A similar message is expected to be conveyed to the secretaries as well, the sources said. The two principal secretaries to the prime minister, P K Misha and Shaktikanta Das, and Cabinet Secretary T V Somanathan are likely to attend Tuesday’s meeting.
