This research paper examines the role of digital transformation in higher education institutions (HEIs) as a key driver for achieving India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Using secondary data (2018–2024) from sources like the Ministry of Education, AISHE, UGC, and NASSCOM, the study analyzes the impact of digital adoption on institutional performance. Findings show a strong positive correlation between digital infrastructure and student enrollment, along with improvements in research output (68.4%) and employability (43.7%). Digitally advanced institutions also demonstrate higher innovation and competitiveness. The study highlights the need for increased investment, faculty training, and supportive policies to ensure inclusive digital growth in higher education.
