Abstract
India's national vision, Viksit Bharat 2047 (Developed India 2047), offers a historic chance to create the country an inclusive, resilient, wealthy, and globally competitive nation as it approaches the centennial of its independence in 2047. More than just goals are needed to realize this ambitious vision; a strategic framework backed by clear, quantifiable, and forward-looking indicators that direct and evaluate developmental progress is also required. This study suggests a thorough framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are in line with international norms like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN and customized to India's heterogeneous socioeconomic environment. Economic prosperity, social fairness, education and skill development, health and well-being, environmental sustainability, infrastructure and urban development, digital governance, and global leadership are the eight key pillars that these KPIs cover.
The study used a mixed-methods approach to identify and suggest short-, medium-, and long-term KPIs, utilizing national datasets, policy analysis, expert consultations, and worldwide benchmarking. Data-driven decision-making, participatory governance, regional adaptation, and dynamic monitoring systems are all emphasized in the framework. The research effort seeks to operationalize India's developmental goal into concrete measures through this integrated KPI structure, which can promote accountability, ease policy review, and encourage coordinated action at all governmental and social levels. In order to make Viksit Bharat 2047 a quantifiable, attainable, and inclusive reality, the study ends with practical suggestions for institutional adoption, intergovernmental collaboration, and stakeholder engagement tools.
