PM chairs first cabinet meet of Modi govt 2.0's 2nd year
A meeting of the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was conducted on Monday. It was the first meeting of the Cabinet after the Central government entered into its second year of office. According to Republic TV sources, few historic decisions having a transformative impact are expected to be announced.
Big symbolic decisions on such occasions have been a repeat occurrence in the Modi government. When PM Modi chaired the first Cabinet meeting of his first term, a decision was taken to set up a committee to look into the black money economy in the country. Chairing his first Cabinet meeting in his second term, decisions were taken to take care of the ex-servicemen, including their scholarships.
Almost a year ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted, "Our government's first decision dedicated to those who protect India! Major changes approved in PM's Scholarship Scheme under the National Defence Fund including enhanced scholarships for wards of police personnel martyred in terror or Maoist attacks."
