520			_aAs India moves toward its centennial year of independence, the ambition of Viksit Bharat @ 2047 demands a reorientation of development priorities. Growth measured purely by macroeconomic metrics cannot suffice; the transformation must ensure dignity, inclusion and opportunity at every stratum of society. This article presents a comprehensive public policy perspective on how social equity in urban settings can underpin India’s trajectory toward a prosperous, just and inclusive society by 2047. Anchored by a mixed-methods field and secondary analysis, it organizes reform imperatives into ten interconnected policy pillars: demographic resilience, minimum basic income, labour modernization, tenant protection and rental housing, retirement readiness, rural-urban synergy, leaving no one behind, child welfare, refining “creamy layer” norms, and domestic work rights. For each pillar, the article diagnoses prevailing implementation gaps and proposes actionable policy strategies. A strong emphasis is placed on digital governance, institutional convergence and participatory oversight to ensure that policy design is not merely aspirational but tractably implementable. The concluding synthesis argues that only through integrated, justice-centered reform can India convert demographic challenges into engines of inclusive growth and emerge as a truly Viksit Bharat by 2047.- Reproduced https://www.iipa.org.in/GyanKOSH/posts/social-equity-urban-living
