Representative image NEW DELHI: Breaking away from routine taking up projects and policy proposals for “consideration and approval” agenda, the next Cabinet meeting will see ministers personally presenting the “major reforms” undertaken by their ministries and departments since June 2024 and their benefits.The change, officials said, aims at pushing forward the govt’s agenda of reducing compliance burden and simplification of rules and procedures for ease of living and business.In a communication — soon after Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting at the new Prime Minister’s Office Seva Teerth — cabinet secretary T V Somanathan told all ministries that the PM has “desired” that all ministers present major reforms in the next Cabinet meeting and the date will be intimated in due course.The communication has triggered hectic activities across ministries since Tuesday evening.Focus mainly will be on people-centric reforms in laws, policies, notifications, rules and regulations that each ministry has undertaken in the third term of Modi-led govt, TOI has learnt. Ministries have been asked to send to cabinet secretary by March 2 (Monday) a two-page “executive summary of the most significant reforms” that their ministers will present before the Cabinet.Officials said a detailed format has been sent to all ministries to specify the title of “three reforms under four categories and their impact”. They have also been asked to include the changes made — including abolition, simplification and rectification of forms, digitisation, risk-based inspection and self certification — for improving ease of doing business.This exercise, officials believe, will lead to ministries and departments sharing their experiences while framing and implementing reforms.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosRed Carpet Welcome For PM Modi In Israel, Congress Slams Visit Over Gaza ‘Genocide’ | Headlines@8Big Honour for India: PM Modi Becomes First to Receive Knesset Speaker’s Medal”Zero Tolerance For Terrorist Acts…”Jaishankar Sends Strong Message Against Terror at UNHRC’We Feel Your Pain’: PM Modi Shares ‘Pain Of Terror’ With Israel, Slams Hamas And October 7 Attack‘More Than A Friend, A Brother’: Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu Hails PM Modi During Knesset AddressPM Modi’s Visit to Israel End IAF’s Need For Tanker Aircrafts | Watch“Pride and Emotion”: Indian Diaspora Welcomes PM Modi to IsraelRed Carpet Optics In Tel Aviv: Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu Offers Grand Welcome To PM ModiPM Modi’s Israel Menu Revealed: From Gujarati Dishes to Local DelightsLondon-Based Indian Eatery Shuts Down After Owner Blames Pakistani Threats And Diaspora Tensions123PhotostoriesPCOS-related inflammation: 7 yoga poses that may support hormonal balance and metabolic healthKatie Leung,Regé-Jean Page to Freddie Stroma: Every ‘Harry Potter’ actor who starred in ‘Bridgerton’How to make Dhaba-style Panchmel Dal for dinner at home5 iconic real estate streets of Delhi; where all the elite livesFrom ‘Paa’ to ‘Kalki 2898 AD’: 12 performances that prove Amitabh Bachchan is Bollywood’s ultimate chameleon10 interesting ways to pack basi roti for school or office tiffin5 ultra-luxury SUVs designed for effortless long-distance touring5 best wildlife experiences that prove Rajasthan is more than forts and palacesRinku Singh leaves T20 World Cup Camp for father’s health crisis: 5 times Indian cricketers chose family over workA style journey from ‘Ishq Vishk’ to ‘O Romeo’: Shahid Kapoor’s most memorable looks through the years123Hot PicksMumbai BMC BudgetTrump’s State of the UnionGold rate todayBihar wedding shootIncome Tax CalculatorPublic holidays February 2026Bank Holidays februaryTop TrendingJharkhand Air Ambulance CrashHyderabad Farrari CrashNCERT textbook controversyBryce YoungDan Carter Net WorthMexico Fifa world cupMLB Trade RumorsRondale MoorePM Modi Israel visitJosh Allen Wife
