Keen to revive growth and improve governance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called a meeting of all secretaries on Tuesday to set the priority for the new government.
The secretaries, according to sources, are expected to appraise Modi about the activities of their respective departments and list the projects which could be pushed forward.
Getting down to business, Modi yesterday asked his Cabinet colleagues to set a 100-day agenda with focus on efficient governance, delivery and implementation of programmes.
The directives were given by Modi at a Cabinet meeting here in the context of his 10-point vision which includes increasing investment, completing infrastructure projects in time-bound manner and exploiting natural resources to the country's benefit.
To send out a similar message across the country, Modi is likely to address the nation, possibly after the brief Parliament session that would be convened from June 4 to 11 during which President Pranab Mukherjee will address the joint sitting outlining the government's agenda.
