Niti Aayog Meeting 2019 Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today chaired the Niti Aayog meeting today. In the fifth governing council meeting of the Niti Aayog, structural reforms in agriculture, drought situation and relief measures, challenges in transforming aspirational districts and security-related issues were expected to be high on the agenda. Chief Ministers of almost all the states attended the meet. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee gave the event a miss after writing to the Prime Minister that it was "fruitless" to attend the deliberations as the Niti Aayog had no financial power to support state plans. According to a statement issued by the Niti Aayog on Thursday, issues like rain-water harvesting, drought situation and relief measures, transforming aspirational districts as well as security-related issues with specific focus on Left Wing Extremism (LWE) hit districts are expected to be discussed at the meeting.
