Addressing the audience, UT administrator Banwari Lal Purohit said the campaign is the Centre’s vision to make India a developed nation by 2047, which is the 100th year of its independence.
Calling upon the academia to shoulder the responsibility to facilitate the transformation process, Purohit said it is pertinent to channelise the innovative ideas of the youth into nation-building by inviting them to ideate and contribute to the vision of “Viksit Bharat by 2047”.
The UT administrator asked three questions and solicited a response from the youth, “What can you do to make Viksit Bharat@2047 possible? What do we need to do to reach this goal? What should a Viksit Bharat look like in 2047 in different aspects?”
“Each one of you can think about it and send your suggestions on the Vikisit Bharat @ 2047 ideas portal— https://innovateindia.mygov.in/viksitbharat2047/,” said Purohit.
