Viksit Bharat: Unleashing the potential of a billion dreams
The Sunday Guardian
|July 27, 2025
This vision is not just about economic milestones but a roadmap for an India with boundless opportunities, innovation as a way of life, and efficient governance as a norm.
Over the last three decades, I have had the honour of serving India from close quarters in various capacities, witnessing its remarkable transformation journey. From the corridors of influence in Uttar Pradesh to the remotest villages, I have seen the heart of this nation—its people—thrive on resilience and get inspired by their aspirations.
Today, as we stand at an inflection point for India, the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047—a fully developed nation—feels closer and realistically attainable. This vision is not just about economic milestones but a roadmap for an India with boundless opportunities, innovation as a way of life, and efficient governance as a norm. It is a dream of a Bharat that takes pride in its heritage, builds unapologetically on its strengths, marches ahead by embracing technology, and ensures prosperity for every citizen.
INDIA: A NATION OF JOB CREATORS, NOT JUST JOB SEEKERS
Development is not solely about creating employment; it is about nurturing the inherent entrepreneurial spirit of our people. India has always been a land of startups—from the skilled artisans in villages to the tech innovators in cities. Our Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), forming the economic backbone, are poised to take centre stage in India's growth story. With the right mix of policy support, access to finance, and digital empowerment, these businesses can drive innovation, social transformation, and global wealth creation.
The gig economy has emerged as a significant employment contributor. According to NITI Aayog, in 2020-21, 7.7 million workers were engaged in the gig economy, constituting 2.6% of the non-agricultural workforce. By 2029-30, this number is expected to rise to 23.5 million, forming 6.7% of the non-agricultural workforce, reflecting the shifting dynamics of work in a new Bharat.

EXTERMINATE MOSQUITOES TO ERADICATE EIGHT DEADLY DISEASES
Till now, Iceland, with a harsh, unique climate and geographical isolation, was the only country in the world that was completely free of mosquitoes. Three mosquitoes were found in the Kjos valley in October 2025. Scientists blamed rising temperatures due to climate change and increased travel for these arrivals. Mosquitoes are vectors for deadly diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, Zika, yellow fever, West Nile virus fever, and filariasis. In 2023, there were an estimated 263 million malaria cases and 597,000 deaths globally. World Malaria Day on 25 April and National Dengue Day on May 16th in India highlight the need for public education, continued investment, and sustained political commitment for prevention and control measures, especially before the monsoon season. ‘Chikungunya' means \"to become contorted,\" (due to severe joint pains) in the Kimakonde language in Tanzania and Mozambique.

The House of Mr Vance
Religious conversions have entirely different connotations for Hindus due to the coercive, including violent, nature of both Islamic and Christian proselytizing in the Indian subcontinent. In Western liberal societies, such as the US, however, religious conversions do not evoke the same response.

WELFARE DELIVERY, MODI FACTOR PROPELLING NDA IN BIHAR POLLS
The Bihar elections opened with opposition parties confident that Nitish Kumar's long incumbency and public fatigue courtesy his 20 years of rule would translate into a difficult contest for the NDA. In the early phase of campaigning, this seemed plausible. The same feeling was also shared by top National Democratic Alliance leaders while interacting with journalists privately, including by two senior BJP Union Ministers, who spoke to this correspondent before and after the poll schedule was announced.
