Vision for AmritKaal, Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat and Incredible India-

Indian story has been robust and resilient, major policies have remained coherent and stable. Fiscal and monetary policies have been very much disciplined. Economics of major public policies have been supported by all major political parties. Startup boom, rise in unicorns, stable macro economic conditions, favorable investment regime, educated workforce and well rated rule of law, all of them add value to the Indian ecosystem. Many MNCs doing good business, rise in global military influence and predictable business friendly policies add more substance to the Indian Story.  A well established system of social sector, human development sector and agriculture sector are also important in India’s GDP and economic development. Major institutions of purpose like Planning Commissions, Niti Ayog, TIFAC, various industries connect bodies and many S&T research bodies should have a common understating for AmritKaal to evolve multi pronged and multi dimensional approach for holistic development of India by 2047. Democratic India wins with collaboration of every Indian and our digital public infrastructure should help in this. Teachers and Scientists are key mentors in the Indian journey to an advanced and developed nation; their inspiration should be national inspiration and spiritual growth of students. Participation and our collective strength and our winning mindset shall evolve systems and pathways necessary for a common and shared vision towards 2047.
