This book, titled “Viksit Bharat 2047: Infrastructure. Innovation. Inclusion.” reviews how India has progressed to a globally recognized and respected position over the last ten years, more specifically over the last five years. The key highlight of the book is an espousal of how India is poised to transform itself as Viksit Bharat by 2047, India’s 100th year of independence. The book presents, in brief, certain success stories in various economic, industrial, and social sectors that India has notched up over these years. It also presents a few futuristic transformational pathways. This demonstrates, in a compelling manner, how effective public policy and governance has caused a paradigm shift in how India has started viewing itself and how the world has started viewing India. India’s future is likely to be dramatically more elevated than even staunch India optimists may imagine. The key is an impactful combination of visionary goal setting, objective self-belief, and competency building. This book will inspire policy makers, academicians, business leaders, students and public to believe in and work for Viksit Bharat.
