Reviewing mission 'Indradhanush' for universal immunisation of children, Modi asked officials concerned for targeted attention in strict timeframes for the 100 worst performing districts in this regard.
He said youth organisations such as NCC and Nehru Yuva Kendra could be involved in the outreach effort to ensure that no child was left without the benefit of immunisation.
Modi reviewed implementation of Swachhta Action Plans and said events such as Swachhta fortnights should be converted into movements towards permanent solutions.
The Prime Minister urged all government secretaries to come up with concrete plans and objectives for transformative change, to be achieved by the 75th anniversary of independence in 2022.
