"Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is ambition of every Indian. States can play an active role to achieve this aim as they are directly connected with the people," the Prime Minister said, according to a post on X by the NITI Aayog.

The meeting, held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre, is attended by CMs, Lieutenant Governors, Union Ministers, and NITI Aayog members.

Its goal is to promote participative governance and enhance collaboration between the Centre and state governments, improving the quality of life for both rural and urban populations through strengthened government interventions.

Several state governments led by opposition parties have announced their intention to boycott the meeting.
