PM Modi sets up eight groups of secretaries for focused attention

Eight groups of secretaries for focussed attention on areas like good governance, inclusive growth, employment generation, education and health, Swachch Bharat and energy efficiency have been set up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In each group, one secretary will act as a 'Rapporteur' and moderate the group meetings.

Prime Minister Modi had interacted with all the secretaries to the government of India on December 31 where he had asked bureaucrats to 'get cracking' to deliver results and ensure 'transformative change' with focus on improving the lives of people.

The subjects on which the groups have been set up are good governance - challenges and opportunities, employment generation strategies, farmer-centric initiatives in agriculture and allied sectors, education and health universal access and quality, innovative budgeting and effective implementation, accelerated growth with inclusion and equity, Swachch Bharat and Ganga rejuvenation and energy efficiency and conservation.
