Prime Minister’s Retreat with Chief Ministers

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, after the formal Consultation Meeting with Chief Ministers on the new institution to replace the Planning Commission, held a Retreat with the Chief Ministers.

The Retreat is a first of its kind where the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers met without the support of any officials in a relaxed, private setting and discussed developmental issues and specific success stories in their states. The purpose is to learn from each others` successes so that they could be replicated in other states.

Chief Ministers highlighted one area each where they had done something innovative and which had a visible impact, either in improving governance or in improving service delivery to citizens.

All the participants felt that this was an extremely useful exercise which could be repeated in future.
