Government pushes 'last‑mile delivery' and regulatory simplification in secretaries’ briefing

A key theme of the meeting was the push for "last‑mile delivery" – ensuring that government schemes reach the final beneficiary without delay. Participants reviewed ongoing projects such as the 52‑week‑52‑reforms drive across ministries, including railways, and discussed mechanisms to streamline rules, promote self‑reliance, and boost administrative efficiency. Prime Minister Modi reiterated the importance of meeting defined deadlines and using periodic reviews as a tool to keep the reform momentum alive.
