Abstract
India stands at a pivotal moment in its governance journey. As the nation advances toward its centenary of independence in 2047, the idea of Viksit Bharat 2047—a developed, inclusive, resilient and democratic India—has moved from rhetorical aspiration to an organizing policy frame across ministries, states and international partnerships. This article examines the governance transformations required to realize that vision: institutional reform, digital public infrastructure, fiscal and regulatory modernization, stronger centre–state collaboration, and an inclusive social compact that tackles inequality and environmental constraints. Drawing on official vision documents, institutional reports and recent socioeconomic data, it outlines current progress, persistent gaps, and concrete policy pathways for operationalizing Viksit Bharat 2047.
