Prime Minister Narendra Modi told ministers during a cabinet meeting to bring reforms directly to the people to improve ease of living.
This directive signals a shift toward more aggressive implementation of government policies aimed at reducing bureaucratic friction for citizens and entrepreneurs. By focusing on the delivery of reforms, the administration seeks to translate legislative changes into tangible daily improvements for the Indian public.
Modi said the government must work on improving the ease of doing business alongside the ease of living. He said these efforts are necessary to accelerate the implementation of reforms and improve the overall business environment in India.
As part of this broader push for deregulation, the government has moved forward with the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Bill, 2026 [1]. The legislation is designed to decriminalize various minor offenses, and streamline administrative processes.
"This is a major step towards enhancing 'Ease of Living' and 'Ease of Doing Business'," Modi said.
The Prime Minister's focus on the Jan Vishwas Bill [1] reflects a strategy to remove obsolete laws and reduce the burden on the judicial system. By simplifying the legal framework, the government aims to attract more investment and foster a more competitive economic landscape.
Modi said ministers should ensure that the benefits of these reforms reach the grassroots level. The cabinet meeting served as a mandate for officials to move beyond the drafting of policy and focus on the execution of these mandates in the field.
“Take reforms to the people, work on ease of living and business”
The emphasis on 'ease of living' and 'ease of doing business' suggests a strategic move by the Modi administration to pivot from legislative creation to operational execution. By linking the Jan Vishwas Bill to these goals, the government is attempting to signal to both global investors and domestic citizens that India is actively reducing the 'red tape' that has historically hindered economic growth and administrative efficiency.
