Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday held the third high-level meeting with Secretaries to the Government of India at his residence, urging them to break departmental silos and adopt a long-term perspective. He said silos are a problem of mindset, not just an organisational issue, and called for greater engagement with universities and young people to bring fresh ideas into policymaking.
Modi emphasised effective use of artificial intelligence in governance while stressing that human judgment and intervention must remain central. He termed data a national asset and said its full potential is often unrealised because of fragmented systems. Citing the Covid-19 pandemic and the West Asia conflict as examples, he said inter-departmental coordination should become a natural part of government work culture.
The meeting covered the future action agenda for ministries dealing with infrastructure, connectivity, security, external affairs, and governance. No specific policy changes or timelines were announced.
Indian Opinion Analysis
All three sources rely on the same government press release, producing near-identical straight reporting. No source challenges or interrogates the PM's framing: that departmental silos are a 'mindset' problem, that data is underused, and that AI must stay under human judgment. The common edit is what is omitted, no external expert comment, no opposition view, and no past performance metric against which to measure these calls. A careful reader should treat this as the government's desired narrative, not an independent assessment of bureaucratic effectiveness. Watch whether any inter-departmental coordination mechanism with a measurable target is announced in the coming quarter.
