Level up: PMO to babus on cabinet notes
The New Indian Express Mysuru
|November 25, 2025
ONUS ON PULLING TOGETHER IN SAME DIRECTION

The strongly worded directive, issued last week, asks secretaries to shed "routine bureaucratic mindset" and focus on "value addition" while drafting or commenting on cabinet notes - proposals which ministers submit before the government for approval on major policy decisions.
The PMO made it clear that these instructions reflect Prime Minister Narendra Modi's personal views and must be strictly followed by all.
