NITI Aayog’s Plan for a Developed India by 2047

What is the Initiative?

• NITI Aayog is helping several states create vision documents for a Developed India (Viksit Bharat) by 2047.
• This plan includes Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.
• Special teams in NITI Aayog are guiding these states in making strong development strategies.

Why Was This Started?

• PM Narendra Modi spoke about the need for Developed States in a meeting.
• He said that India’s growth depends on every state’s progress.
• This plan will help states improve their economy, governance, and quality of life.

Goals of the Plan

• Help states grow in all areas, not just the economy.
• Improve governance and make people’s lives better.
• Ensure states and the central government work together for progress.

State Support Mission (SSM)

• This program was announced in the 2023-24 Budget.
• It helps NITI Aayog and states work closely to develop growth plans.
• States can create their own strategies while following national goals.

Setting Up Development Institutions

• NITI Aayog is asking states to create State Institutions for Transformation (SIT).
• These will help states make better policies and plans.
• So far, 26 SITs have been created to improve governance and development.

This initiative will make states stronger, helping India become a developed nation by 2047.
