After India@75, the government has shifted focus on India@100. Sources said that the thrust will be on developing social and economic parameters keeping the Aatmanirbhar Bharat plank at the core with the aim of making India the factory for the world. “Self-reliance and competitiveness will be critical given the current uncertainties in the world, we will have to give priority to the youth and issues related to gender,” a person familiar with the development said.

India, which recently celebrated its 75th Independence Day, will unveil the official roadmap for its development for the next 25 years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while delivering the Independence Day speech, already touched upon the issue. Underlining that India must become a developed nation in 25 years he said, “I urge the country’s youth to dedicate the next 25 years of their lives for the nation’s development. We will work towards the development of the entire humanity.

An official statement said that the Competitiveness Roadmap for India@100 has been designed under the aegis of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council (PMEAC) and will be released on Tuesday. The framework has been developed based on inputs by Harvard Business School Professor Michael E. Porter.

The roadmap stands to inform and guide the way for India to become a higher-income country by 2047, the statement said. However, the person quoted earlier also said that the framework “is not cast in stone” and would naturally need tweaking from time to time. “We would also do a thorough analysis of the strengths and weaknesses to be able to come out with the roadmap,” he added.

By and large the roadmap will comprise policy goals, principles and approaches to further drive India’s economy in the direction of sustainability and resilience, embedded in social progress and shared prosperity. The roadmap presents an integrated agenda of prioritised initiatives based on a thorough examination of India’s present economic state and competitive advantages.

Building on the many reforms your government has enacted over recent years, it addresses both what actions India needs to prioritize now and how it needs to organize itself to deliver these actions effectively.
