India at 2047: A reform blueprint of 100 ideas to power the journey to Viksit Bharat - IIPA Digest - 7(33), Special issues 2025: p.33-36
India is at a pivotal moment in its history as it approaches the centenary of its independence in 2047. Viksit Bharat, or a fully developed India, is a transformative national mission rather than just an idealistic catchphrase. It imagines a nation where social justice, economic power, innovation, and sustainability come together to build a thriving, resilient, and inclusive community. India must firmly address the structural obstacles limiting its potential while building on the groundwork established by seven decades of democratic governance and tremendous progress in order to achieve this milestone. This calls for a reform blueprint, a thorough agenda of 100 game-changing concepts that may propel India from a developing country to a major player in the world economy. The understanding that growth must be holistic, inclusive, and future-focused rather than linear or sector-specific is at the core of this design. Governance reforms, economic restructuring, industrial competitiveness, agricultural modernisation, health access, education, environmental stewardship, infrastructure modernisation, social justice, and technology sovereignty must all be incorporated into the Viksit Bharat agenda. Every one of these pillars contributes to an ecosystem that is interconnected and propelling India towards long-term success. With a GDP of nearly USD 4 trillion and an average yearly growth rate of 6.5%, India's economy ranked fifth in the world in 2024. However, India needs to expand at a consistent 8–9% yearly pace while maintaining social inclusiveness, ecological balance, and technical autonomy if it hopes to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047. This need a new reform paradigm that goes beyond fragmented policy changes in favour of a unified reform architecture that strengthens markets, institutions, and citizens.-Reproduced
