NEW DELHI: Ahead of the maiden budget of his second term in office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday brainstormed with top bureaucrats of finance and other ministries for ideas to reverse a slagging economy and create jobs.
Sources said the meeting at the Prime Minister’s residence had in attendance all five secretaries in the Finance Ministry as well as Niti Aayog officials.
Modi is likely to have discussed the reforms road map for every department with a view to making it easier to do business in the country and boost economy.
The agenda for increasing revenue mop-up and taking reform steps to push GDP growth, which has slipped to 5-year low of 6.8 per cent in 2018-19, may have also figured in the meeting, they said. (AGENCIES)
