Prime Minister Narendra Modi will chair the three-day fifth National Conference of Chief Secretaries in New Delhi beginning today. Mr Modi will chair the conference tomorrow and the day after. The Conference marks another important milestone in strengthening Centre – State partnership through structured and sustained dialogue on national development priorities.

 

 

Anchored in the Prime Minister’s vision of cooperative federalism, this Conference serves as the forum where Centre and States collaborate, designing a unified roadmap to maximise India’s Human Capital potential and accelerate inclusive, future-ready growth. 

 

 

The Conference will be devoted to intensive deliberations aimed at finalising a common development agenda. The Conference will focus on the theme Human Capital for Viksit Bharat, covering best practices and strategies for States and UTs to follow. Under this theme, special emphasis will be placed on five key areas – Early Childhood Education, Schooling, Skilling, Higher Education, Sports and Extracurricular activities. The National Conference of Chief Secretaries has been organised annually over the past four years. The first Conference was held in Dharamshala in June 2022.
