Abstract

This research paper critically examines the strategic pathways and policy frameworks essential for achieving the "Viksit Bharat 2047" (Developed India 2047) vision. Moving beyond purely economic metrics, the paper posits that genuine "Viksit" status necessitates a synergistic triad of Progress (sustained, high-quality growth), Innovation (indigenous technological sovereignty and diffusion), and Equity (social, economic, and spatial justice). The analysis identifies three foundational pillars: Human Capital Augmentation (health, education, and skilling), Techno-Industrial Transformation (leveraging AI, green tech, and advanced manufacturing), and Institutional-Ecological Resilience (governance reform, climate action, and social security). A central thesis is that these pillars must be interwoven; for instance, innovation must be directed towards solving India-specific challenges in agriculture, healthcare, and resource management to be truly equitable. The paper employs a transdisciplinary methodology, integrating economic modelling, foresight analysis, and sociological assessment to evaluate current initiatives like Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, and digital public infrastructure (DPI). It highlights critical tension points, such as balancing rapid urbanisation with agrarian sustainability, managing the demographic dividend amid jobless growth risks, and ensuring that the digital revolution does not exacerbate existing divides. The conclusion proposes a normative framework for "Inclusive National Innovation Systems" and "Distributive Infrastructure," arguing that the 2047 goal is not merely a terminal target but a catalyst for building a resilient, knowledge-based, and compassionate society where growth is a means to enhanced human capabilities and collective well-being, not an end in itself.
