STRATEGIES FOR TURNING INDIA INTO A VIKSIT BHARAT BY 2047

Abstract The issue of Viksit Bharat is a new concept. Though the term is the Hindi version of Developed India, the Prime Minister took the opportunity to popularize the terminology among the general citizens of this country with a special focus on the youths and students. The students and young people are full of vigour and vitality. They are the main force behind any change in society and country as a whole. The primary aim of the Prime Minister's introduction of this term is to Indianize the development process in every sphere of society. However, the concepts of developed India and Viksit Bharat have subtle differences, because the new concept aims to bring about a lofty ambition in India by attaining a $30 trillion economy within a particular timeframe, i.e., by 2047, when India celebrates its 100th year of Independence. But the task is not easy at all. It is very challenging indeed. Despite that, the Government and the majority of the people are committed to achieve the vision of Prime Minister. As the country at present has not any clear roadmap for attaining the goal, that is why this author conducted a research to trace out the strategies that might bring about the Vision Viksit Bharat by 2047. Key Words: Prime Minister of India, Viksit Bharat, strategies for Viksit Bharat, a $30 trillion economy, Developed India
