Viksit Bharat @2047
Vision, Targets, and Institutional Framework
Viksit Bharat @2047 (Developed India by 2047, India's centenary of independence) is the Government of India's overarching development vision. The target is to transform India into a high-income developed nation by 2047. NITI Aayog has developed detailed roadmaps covering economic growth, energy transition, infrastructure, and human development. The $30 trillion GDP target for 2047 requires India to sustain roughly 8-9% annual growth for over two decades.
- India's GDP (2025 estimate): ~$4 trillion (3rd largest in PPP terms, 5th in nominal terms)
- To reach $30 trillion by 2047 from ~$4 trillion: requires ~8-9% sustained annual growth rate
- Key thematic pillars: Economic Growth, Infrastructure, Innovation, Green Transition, Social Development
- NITI Aayog (National Institution for Transforming India): replaced Planning Commission in 2015; functions as a policy think tank, not a fund-disbursing body; no allocation powers unlike the erstwhile Planning Commission
- NITI Aayog CEO is an IAS officer-level position; the Governing Council (all CMs + LGs) is NITI Aayog's top body
- Aspirational Districts Programme (now Aspirational Districts and Blocks Programme): NITI Aayog-led initiative to accelerate development in backward districts
