Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at the Union Cabinet meeting on Sunday, asked his ministerial colleagues to prepare a draft roadmap for the first 100 days and the next five years for the new government.

The Union Ministers would hold meetings with senior officials of their departments to ensure that the roadmap is implemented accordingly, according to government sources.

Given that the Election Commission has announced the schedule for the Lok Sabha election on Saturday, the Cabinet also decided to recommend to the President the issuance of requisite statutory notifications.

Earlier this month, seeking to send a message of confidence that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would once again come to power, the Union Council of Ministers led by the Prime Minister had discussed a 100-day agenda for quick implementation after the formation of the new government.

The Cabinet had also deliberated on the vision document for “Viksit Bharat 2047 (Developed India 2047)” and a detailed action plan for the next five years.

“The roadmap for Viksit Bharat is a result of more than two years of intensive preparation. It involved a ‘whole of government’ approach involving all ministries and wide-ranging consultations with State governments, academia, industry bodies, civil society, scientific organisations, and mobilisation of the youth for seeking their ideas, suggestions and inputs. More than 2,700 meetings, workshops, and seminars were held at various levels. Suggestions of more than 20 lakh youth were received,” a source had said.
