INDIA'S JOURNEY SINCE Independence is nothing short of extraordinary. In just 76 years, our young nation has transformed itself with remarkable socio-economic progress. Poverty has declined dramatically, literacy rates have soared, and life expectancy continues to rise. The vision of becoming a developed nation, or Viksit Bharat, by 2047 is not just an aspiration but a collective mission. The groundwork is laid. Now, it’s time to accelerate this momentum.

India’s digital revolution is in full swing. Initiatives like the JAM trinity (Jan-Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar, and Mobile Telephony) and the success of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) are laying the foundation for a robust digital economy. Complementing these are large-scale infrastructure projects like BharatNet, Sagarmala, and Bharatmala, which are enhancing connectivity and logistics, making India a fertile ground for economic growth.
