In line with his commitment to take all the states together as “Team India” for a Viksit Bharat, Prime Minister
Shri Narendra Modi will chair the 10th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog on May 24, 2025, at
Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. This year's theme is ‘Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat@2047’, with the central
focus on states and thereby making India a developed nation. The Governing Council Meeting will discuss the
approach on Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat @2047.
As India progresses towards becoming a developed country, it is essential that States leverage their unique
strengths and drive transformative changes at the grassroots, ensuring that the aspirations of 140 crore citizens
translate into tangible outcomes on the ground. The idea of Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat is a call for States
to craft bold, long-term, and inclusive vision documents aligned with national priorities yet grounded in local
realities. These visions must include time-bound targets. States must leverage their unique geographic and
demographic advantages while focusing on human development, economic growth, sustainability, technology,
and governance reforms. The focus can be on data-driven processes and outcome-based transformation,
supported by Project Monitoring Units, ICT-enabled Infrastructure and Monitoring & Evaluation Cells to
ensure accountability and midcourse correction.
The 10th Governing Council meeting provides a platform to the Centre and States / Union Territories to
deliberate on development challenges facing the nation and building consensus on how States can be the
building blocks for making India a developed nation, i.e., Viksit Rajya for Viksit Bharat. Measures for
promoting entrepreneurship, enhancing skilling, and creating sustainable employment opportunities across the
country, will also be deliberated in the meeting.
The Governing Council of NITI Aayog will also focus on building a consensus on the themes of the 4th
National Conference of Chief Secretaries held during 13-15 December, 2024. Secretaries from the
Government of India and Chief Secretaries from all States and UTs were part of the consultative process
towards defining the framework and providing suggestions for the agenda of ‘Viksit Bharat@2047’. Under

Demographic Dividend’, recommendations were made during 4th National Conference of Chief Secretaries
on the following six key themes:
