The report quoted the government sources saying that the roadmap for "Viksit Bharat" is a result of more than two years of intensive preparation and involved a "whole of government" approach involving all ministries and wide-ranging consultations with state governments, academia, industry bodies, civil society, scientific organisations and mobilisation of youths for inputs.

"More than 2,700 meetings, workshops and seminars were held at various levels. Suggestions of more than 20 lakh youths were received," one official said.

As per ABP sources, the prime minister has advised union ministers to exercise caution before giving any statements and avoid passing any controversial remarks. He also urged ministers to spread awareness about the government schemes in the masses. 

The roadmap for "Viksit Bharat" has a comprehensive blueprint with clearly articulated national vision, aspirations, goals and action points, the sources said, adding that its goals include areas such as economic growth, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ease of living, ease of doing business, infrastructure and social welfare.

As per reports, PM Modi also cautioned the Union Ministers against deepfake technology, altering voices and encouraged vigilance in this regard.

After the meeting, that went on for 12 hours, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, "Every person's support is crucial to building a Viksit Bharat. Under the leadership of Modi Ji, the BJP has been working towards making Bharat a developed nation."

Several ministries articulated their ideas in the meeting, which is likely to be the last meeting before the crucial Lok Sabha polls in few weeks.

During the meeting, presentations were also made on various issues during the meeting.

The prime minister had earlier asked his Cabinet colleagues to come out with "actionable, measurable and clearly defined plans" for the new government.

He has repeatedly expressed confidence that his government will retain power for a third consecutive term and has set a target of winning 370 seats for the BJP and more than 400 for the ruling alliance led by his party in the Lok Sabha polls.
