- ADVERTISEMENT -It is creditable that the Government of India has set for itself and the nation a crucial goal: That India should become Viksit Bharat by 2047, which would be the one hundredth year anniversary of India’s independence. While there is general agreement that the term Viksit Bharat denotes a developed country, it is still necessary for public policy purposes to break the concept down to know what it entails. So, if India must become “Viksit” in the real sense of the term, the GDP must grow significantly to attain the figure of at least 10 trillion dollars. First, 40 per cent of our GDP is foreign trade, so our share of international trade must simply double. Conclusion: India is indeed well positioned to become Viksit Bharat by 2047.
