NITI’s governing council meeting to deliberate on roadmap for Viksit Bharat by 2047

The 9th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog, to be held today, will deliberate on the roadmap for Viksit Bharat by 20247 and the role of states in making India a developed nation.

The governing councils, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, consist of chief ministers and lieutenant governors of states and union territories, union ministers as ex-officio members and special invitees, and the vice chairman and members of NITI Aayog.

The Governing Council meeting will discuss the approach paper for the vision document on Viksit Bharat @2047, the Aayog said.


“The meeting aims to foster participative governance and collaboration between the centre and state governments, enhancing the quality of life for both rural and urban populations by strengthening the delivery mechanisms of government interventions,” it said, adding detailed deliberations will also be held on the role of states in achieving the goal of Viksit Bharat @2047.

The government is of the view that India is on track to become the world’s third-largest economy with GDP crossing $5 trillion and aspires to be a $30 trillion economy by 2047. Achieving the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047 will require a collaborative approach between the Centre and State governments.

As per the statement issued by the Aaog on Friday, the Governing Council of NITI Aayog will also focus on the recommendations of the 3rd National Conference of chief secretaries held in December, 2023 around key areas of drinking water, electricity, health, schooling and land and property with an aim to improve the ease of living.
