The Prime Minister has named these meetings as "Chintan baithak" (brainstorming session).

In the coming weeks, three or four more such meetings - that do not have a prior agenda - are likely to be held, official have indicated, where the Union Ministers are encouraged to openly share their ideas and concerns amid an informal set-up.
