He urged prominent business bodies such as the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI) to initiate dialogues on this transformative agenda.
In a bid to foster transparency and accountability, the Prime Minister encouraged ministers and officials to review the historical records of their respective ministries. This introspective exercise aims to trace the evolution of decisions and ideas over the past 25 years, facilitating informed policymaking for the future.
Central to the vision of “Viksit Bharat 2047” is the principle of “minimum government, maximum governance,” emphasizing the importance of progressive governance and proactive decision-making. By championing efficiency and effectiveness in governance, the government aims to unlock India’s full potential and propel the nation towards sustainable growth and prosperity.
As India embarks on this ambitious journey towards development and innovation, the unveiling of the “Viksit Bharat 2047” plan marks a pivotal moment in the country’s history.
