Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman discusses road map for developed nation tag

Finance and corporate affairs minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday huddled with over 100 senior officers of her ministries to deliberate on re-orienting policies and priorities to realise the goal of turning India into a developed nation by 2047.

The meeting, part of the Chintan Shivir discussions in Gujarat's Kevadia, also focussed on realising the goal by embracing the Panch Pran (five resolutions), as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the finance ministry said. The five resolutions are: To turn India into a developed country; remove every trace of bondage; take pride in its heritage; maintain unity and integrity; and fulfil their duties to achieve the dreams of freedom fighters.

In her address, Sitharaman stressed the optimal utilisation of the vast pool of government resources and underlined the need for mentoring young generations "to embellish efforts in the march" toward a developed nation by the time India completes 100 years of independence.


The deliberations also focused on various aspects of capacity-building in human resources and institutions, and the role of technology and training, the ministry said.
