India strides towards becoming a global leader and the education sector plays a crucial role in fostering innovation, driving economic growth, and ensuring inclusive development. “Viksit Bharat 2047" is a vision for a developed India by 2047, the centenary year of India's independence. Higher educational institutions (HEIs) play a crucial role in achieving this vision. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Viksit Bharat 2047” aims to transform India into a developed nation by 2047, marking 100 years since the country's independence. This vision encompasses various aspects of development, including economic growth, social welfare and progress, technology integration, sustainability and good governance.
