Abstract:
India’s ambitious vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047 coinciding with 100 years of independence hinges critically on the pillars of education and skill development. The transformation into a self-reliant, globally competitive, and inclusive nation requires an agile and robust human capital base equipped with both foundational knowledge and practical expertise. This paper explores the strategic role of education and skill development in realizing the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. It analyzes key policy reforms such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, integration of technology in learning, and the emphasis on value-based and inclusive education. It further examines skill development strategies including vocational training, upskilling, entrepreneurship promotion, and inclusive outreach initiatives to ensure equitable access. Investigating how education and skill development systems can be optimized to address evolving economic and technological demands, this paper offers actionable insights to strengthen India’s knowledge economy. The study provides a comprehensive overview of initiatives and interventions that, if implemented effectively, can catalyze socio-economic transformation and sustainable national development.
