Charting the Course: Overcoming Hurdles in the Journey towards Developed India

Abstract

The ambitious goal of a "Developed India" by 2047 will require genuine dedication and active engagement from all citizens. On the international economic scene, India has achieved great progress, but enduring social and economic inequalities remain a serious obstacle. One alarming sign of these disparities is the large percentage of people who are still under the poverty threshold level. The lack of qualified workers makes this situation much more difficult. COVID-19 brought to light the shortcomings of India's healthcare system, especially in villages and isolated regions, demonstrating long-standing difficulties in delivering high-quality, easily accessible healthcare. Furthermore, environmental problems like depletion of ozone and declining biodiversity have been brought on by unrestrained development and accelerated commercialisation.

In addition to endangering ecological equilibrium, this environmental deterioration also poses a hazard to livelihood and public health. Trust among the public and efficient administration are further hampered by governance issues, especially corruption. This analysis, which is based on secondary data, aims to highlight the challenges facing India as it moves towards development. There are encouraging paths forward despite these obstacles. India has many advantages, including a large, active youth population, attention to green energy, and the digital revolution and initiatives. By combining these resources, India can become a developed nation by 2047, resulting in inclusive growth.
