Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded Dr Gobardhan Das, the newly appointed full-time member of NITI Aayog, for his remarkable journey and contributions to public health. Modi's praise followed a meeting on Sunday, where he commended Das's dedication to societal service despite numerous struggles.

His appointment, along with that of Vice Chairperson Dr Ashok Lahiri, aligns with India's broader strategy to shape long-term economic and social policies under the 2047 independence centenary vision.

In Kolkata, Das expressed pride in representing West Bengal at NITI Aayog, emphasizing a commitment to inclusive policy-making. He highlighted the need for a development model that marries high-tech research with grassroots welfare to ensure no citizen is left behind. This integration is expected to bolster India's policy framework significantly.
