Inclusive and Sustainable Economic Growth in India 2047

The vision of developing India by 2047 which is commonly known as Viksit Bharat 2047 is based on the concept of inclusive and sustainable economic development. This vision demands that humanities, science, and commerce have an integrated role to play in solving complex socio- economic problems without providing inequity, innovation, and resilience. Humanities offer morality and continuity of culture and social consciousness to make effective policies. Science and technology are the drivers to productivity, environmental sustainability and digital transformation that help India to compete in a global knowledge economy. Trade is also central as it gathers financial resources, enhances entrepreneurship, increases the number of jobs, and introduces India to the international markets. The three areas combined create an entire ecosystem of development that promotes balanced development in the region, equity in the society, and environmental sustainability in the long term. In this paper, the author examines how humanities, science, and commerce can work together in achieving the goal of turning India into a developed, inclusive, and sustainable economy by 2047. The paper is based on the recent policy-focused and academic views on the subject, to point out the necessity of education, innovation, financial inclusion, and ethical governance to accomplish this national vision.
