Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the third high-level meeting with Secretaries to the Government of India at his residence on 20 August 2026, covering the future agenda for Infrastructure and Connectivity, Security and External Affairs, and Governance. He described data as a national asset whose value is often lost to departmental silos, and called for greater interoperability, while urging Secretaries to think with a long-term perspective rather than immediate statistics alone. He also called for wider engagement between government departments, universities and young people to bring fresh ideas into policymaking, and for the effective use of Artificial Intelligence alongside human judgement. The meeting was attended by the Cabinet Secretary and senior officials from key Ministries.
