India's aspiration for inclusive and sustainable economic growth by 2047, the centenary of its independence, is a multifaceted and ambitious endeavor that necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its historical context, current challenges, and potential pathways. This goal is not merely about achieving high GDP growth rates, but about ensuring that the benefits of this growth are widely shared across all segments of society and that the development trajectory is environmentally sound and resilient for future generations. India is embarking on an ambitious journey to transform into a developed nation by 2047, the centenary of its independence. This vision, encapsulated by the "Viksit Bharat" initiative, extends beyond mere economic metrics to encompass holistic development across social, environmental, and governance domains, aiming for inclusive and sustainable growth.
