The review meeting focused on several key administrative issues, including governance, public safety and the functioning of state agencies.
The Chief Minister said the age relaxation decision was taken because there had been no major recruitment in the state since 2015. “As proposed earlier, the upper age limit for government job examinations in West Bengal is being increased by five years,” Adhikari said.

The state government further decided to participate in several central welfare schemes, including Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, Ujjwala Yojana, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao and Vishwakarma Yojana.
Another major administrative decision involved allowing IAS, IPS and WBCS officers from West Bengal to participate in central training programmes, something the Chief Minister claimed had not been permitted earlier.
