ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ON RURAL EMPLOYMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITHIN THE VIKSHIT BHARAT 2047 VISION

This abstract examines the critical role of government initiatives in improving rural employment and entrepreneurship under the Vikshit Bharat 2047 framework. The findings show that programs such as MGNREGA, Skill India, and Start-Up India have made major contributions to enhancing livelihood options and instilling a sense of entrepreneurship in rural communities. However, in order for these projects to fully realize their promise, persisting problems such as poor infrastructure and limited finance availability must be addressed. The study underlines the necessity of policy changes customized to local circumstances, which might boost the good consequences of these initiatives. By prioritizing targeted support and investment in rural areas, the government may create a more conducive climate for long-term economic growth and rural community empowerment, aligning with India's overall objective of becoming developed and inclusive by 2047. Finally, stakeholders must work together to achieve these lofty developmental goals.
