Abstract
Viksit Bharat @ 2047 is the Government of India’s visionary roadmap to transform the nation into a developed country by the centenary of its independence. It rests on four interlinked pillars Yuva (youth), Garib (poor), Mahilayen (women) and Annadata (farmers) and emphasizes inclusive growth, sustainable development, technological leadership, and good governance. Harnessing India’s demographic dividend, deepening digital public infrastructure, and advancing structural reforms together create an unprecedented window for accelerated development. At the same time, persistent poverty, regional and social inequalities, capacity deficits in health and education, environmental stress, and institutional stringencies pose serious constraints.
Keywords:
