- "The endeavour is also to end the culture of working in silos and to overcome the multiplicity of training curriculum which we have because of the institutions spread all over the country, with the introduction of a common platform for uniform realisation of nation's vision and of our shared aspiration and our shared future goals," Union minister Jitendra Singh said.
- Briefing media on the Cabinet decisions taken today, Union minister Prakash Javadekar said that with this mission, officers and employees in the government will get an opportunity to improve their performance.
