Role of Public Administration in Viksit Bharat at 2047: A Legal Perspective

The vision of Viksit Bharat @ 2047 represents India’s commitment to becoming a developed nation by the centenary year of its Independence. This aspiration is not merely economic but deeply rooted in constitutional values, social justice, rule of law, good governance, and sustainable development. Public administration plays a pivotal role in translating this vision into reality, acting as the operational arm of the State within a legal and constitutional framework. From policy formulation to implementation, regulation, welfare delivery, and rights protection, public administration determines the effectiveness of governance. This paper examines the role of public administration in achieving Viksit Bharat 2047 from a legal perspective, focusing on constitutional foundations, administrative law principles, governance reforms, judicial oversight, and future challenges. The study argues that a legally accountable, transparent, ethical, and citizen-centric public administration is indispensable for realizing India’s developmental goals by 2047.
