India needs $10 trillion GDP to achieve Viksit Bharat 2047

India needs $10 trillion GDP to achieve Viksit Bharat 2047

India has a big dream: to become a developed country, called 'Viksit Bharat,' by the year 2047.

A new report says India's economy must grow to at least $10 trillion to make that dream come true.

Right now, India's economy is about $4.5 trillion - the fourth biggest in the world, but still not enough for nearly 1.5 billion people.

The report says India should trade more with other countries and invite more foreign businesses to invest.

But growing the economy alone is not enough - the benefits must also reach poor people.

Young people should be encouraged to become entrepreneurs who create jobs.

Students also need new skills, like learning about artificial intelligence, or AI.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promised AI training for one crore, which is 10 million, young people in the next year.

Making healthcare cheaper and better is another important step.

If everyone works together as a team, India can reach its goal by 2047.
