|November 14, 2025
UNION Minister for Science & Technology and Earth Sciences, Jitendra Singh on Thursday said health of India's people in 2047, when the country will celebrate 100 years of freedom, will be the key to 'Viksit Bharat’.
Singh said this while inaugurating the two-day national conclave on ‘Longitudinal Cohort Studies: Cohort Connect 2025' at Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT) here.
“When we talk of Vikas Bharat 2047, the health of India is going to be the basic parameter. India’s health in 2047 will be the key to Viksit Bharat,” he said.
Highlighting the national cohort's scope, he noted that it focuses on four critical determinants of health, biological, environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors, each shaped by the country's extraordinary diversity in diet, environment, and genetic makeup.
“We are going through an era of metabolic disorders like type-2 diabetes...and our new initiation would be in the area of genes—genetic regimes of prevention and genetic therapy for cure,” the union minister said.
