Make reforms’ list, give details, PM Modi tells mantris

NEW DELHI: Taking forward the “reform express” theme, PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked his cabinet colleagues to suggest a list of reforms their ministries intend to initiate over the next few months and provide details of changes already introduced, reports Dipak Dash. He asked them to focus on two themes — ease of living and ease of doing business — while preparing the proposed reform list.

TOI has learnt that the PM made these suggestions while chairing the first Cabinet meeting at Seva Teerth, where a resolution was adopted that every decision taken on the premises will be inspired by sentiment of ‘Nagrik Devo Bhava’, and that it will serve as a centre for empowerment of every Indian, not a place for display of power.


Already, railway ministry has announced its plan to undertake 52 reforms in 52 weeks, some of which have been rolled out. Several other ministries are finalising ‘non-financial regulatory reforms’ that can be implemented without amending Acts. Soon after the meeting, some ministers asked staff to identify more reform areas.
