INNOVATION-LED DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES MARCHING TOWARDS VIKSIT BHARAT 2047

Abstract: India’s aspiration to become a developed nation by 2047 popularly articulated as Viksit Bharat 2047marks a transformative national vision aligned with economic prosperity, social inclusion, environmental sustainability and global leadership. Central to this vision is innovation-led development, which emphasizes the strategic integration of technology, policy reform, institutional capacity and grassroots participation to accelerate inclusive growth. This article examines how innovation functions as a critical driver for achieving Viksit Bharat 2047 by analysing policy frameworks, development practices, sectoral strategies and institutional mechanisms. Drawing on national initiatives such as Start-up India, Digital India, Skill India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, NIPUN Bharat and the National Innovation Ecosystem, the study explores innovation across agriculture, industry, health, education, governance, human capital and sustainability. The article identifies key challenges including regional disparities, digital divides, skills mismatch and governance constraints, while proposing actionable strategies such as decentralized innovation systems, public–private partnerships and mission-oriented policy design. By situating innovation at the intersection of economic growth, social equity and environmental resilience, the article argues that India’s journey towardsViksit Bharat 2047 depends not merely on technological advancement but on systemic, inclusive and sustainable innovation pathways. Keywords: Digital Transformation, Inclusive Growth, Innovation Ecosystems, Sustainable Development, Viksit Bharat 2047, Youth Entrepreneurship.
