Abstract

With a vision that comprises inclusive development, technological innovation, and alignment with global sustainability goals, India is on a path to sustainable growth, which aligns with the government’s vision of Viksit Bharat to attain the status of a developed nation by 2047. India is distinguished by its rich cultural legacy, outstanding economic achievement and diverse population. In this context, the study examines India’s goal of becoming a developed nation by integrating social, financial, and environmental advancement in an ecologically sound manner that includes all sections of society. The study examines India’s trajectory toward sustainable goals by analysing key sectors such as start-ups, health and education, green energy, skill development, and technological innovation. The findings contribute to understanding how strategic development in these sectors can empower all citizens and align India’s growth with global sustainability objectives, ultimately realizing the aspirations of Viksit Bharat.
