Viksit Bharat @2047: Vision, Purpose, and Significance

The vision of Viksit Bharat is that of a prosperous Bharat in harmony with modern infrastructure and nature and giving opportunities for all citizens of all regions to reach their potential.

The Finance Minister, in her Interim Budget 2024 speech, stated that many development and growth-enabling reforms are needed in the states to realise Viksit Bharat's vision. Thus, a provision of Rs.75,000 crore as a 50-year interest-free loan is proposed to the state governments to support their milestone-linked reforms. Helping MSMEs grow and compete will also be a part of the Viksit Bharat roadmap.

On 11 December 2023, the PM launched ‘Viksit Bharat @2047: Voice of Youth’ via video conferencing. At the launch, he highlighted the role of educational institutions in an individual’s personality development and stated that a nation becomes developed only when there is development of its people. He also underlined the need to channel the energy of every university’s students and youth towards achieving the common goal of Viksit Bharat. 

The Viksit Bharat @2047: Voice of Youth was launched to realise the vision of Viksit Bharat, which demands a firm belief in India’s destiny, unwavering dedication and a profound recognition of the people’s vast potential capabilities and talent, particularly the youth. 

The PM also extended an invitation to the youth to engage in the transformative agenda through the youth movement known as ‘Ideas from Youth for Viksit Bharat@2047’. He urged everyone to go beyond their limits and contribute their ideas to the vision of Viksit Bharat@2047. 

The PM suggested running special campaigns in every university and college in India to connect more youth with this campaign. Subsequently, the government launched the ‘Ideas Portal’ related to Viksit Bharat to provide suggestions on five different themes.

The government will form a high-powered committee to extensively consider the challenges arising from quick population growth and demographic changes. This committee will make recommendations to address these challenges comprehensively relating to the goal of Viksit Bharat.
