NEP 2020: EMPOWERING VOCATIONAL EDUCATION FOR INCLUSIVE GROWTH AND A VIKSIT BHARAT BY 2047

Abstract

The vision of Viksit Bharat, championed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to transform India into a developed nation by 2047, aligning with our centenary celebrations of independence. This ambitious journey focuses on four key pillars: economic growth, social progress, environmental sustainability, and good governance.

At the heart of this vision is Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India), an initiative prioritized since 2014. It is built on five essential pillars: economy, infrastructure, technology-driven systems, demography, and demand. Modi has emphasized India's demographic dividend through the 4D factors—Democracy, Demography, Demand, and Decisiveness—which position India as a prime destination for investment. A cornerstone of this transformation is the cultivation of a skilled and capable workforce.
