Modi’s Viksit Bharat Vision Sets India’s 2047 Ambition
Narendra Modi has proposed making India a developed country by 2047.
He calls this plan Viksit Bharat, which means developed India.
The year 2047 will mark 100 years since India became independent.
Modi also asked citizens to follow five important pledges.
These include respecting India’s heritage, avoiding a colonial mindset, protecting national unity, and acting responsibly as citizens.
NITI Aayog says India would need much higher incomes and a $30 trillion economy to reach the goal.
The economy would need to grow by at least 7% each year for many years.
The article says this will be difficult because the world has faced the effects of COVID-19, economic slowdowns, trade upheavals, and recession fears.
Narendra Modi first invoked Viksit Bharat during his 76th Independence Day address.
The goal is to make India a developed nation by the centenary of its Independence in 2047.
The accompanying pancha prana include rejecting a colonial mindset, valuing heritage, strengthening national integrity, and upholding civic responsibility.
NITI Aayog projected targets of $15,000–18,000 per-capita income and a $30 trillion economy.
Achieving these goals would require annual GDP growth of at least 7% over an extended period, despite global economic challenges.
