PM Modi Unveils Visionary ‘Bharat @ 2047’ Blueprint in Independence Day Address

New Delh: In his 12th Independence Day speech from the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid out an ambitious roadmap for India’s transformation, aiming to make the nation a developed country by 2047. Blending technological ambition with economic strategy, his plan charts a bold path from self-reliance to global leadership.

Marking the nation’s 79th Independence Day, Modi declared that Bharat will define its own future—building domestic capabilities in critical sectors from semiconductors to nuclear energy, and from indigenous jet engines to large-scale employment generation.

Key Highlights:

• First Made-in-India Semiconductor Chip: India’s first domestically manufactured chip will roll out by year-end, marking the country’s entry into a strategic, globally competitive industry.

• Nuclear Energy Expansion: Ten nuclear reactors are under construction, with plans to increase capacity more than tenfold by 2047, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

• GST Reforms by Diwali: Promising relief for MSMEs, street vendors, and consumers, next-generation GST reforms will lower taxes on essentials.

• ?1 Lakh Crore Rozgar Yojana: Monthly support of ?15,000 for newly-employed youth, targeting 3 crore beneficiaries, under the PM Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana.

• $10 Trillion Economy Task Force: A new body will cut red tape, accelerate reforms, and prepare the economy for a $10 trillion milestone.

• Demography & Energy Independence: A Demography Mission will address illegal migration, while deepwater exploration, solar, hydrogen, and nuclear projects will strengthen energy security.

• Indigenous Jet Engines: Scientists have been challenged to design and produce homegrown jet engines, echoing the spirit of the COVID-19 vaccine and UPI successes.

Modi’s blueprint positions Bharat not just to participate in the future—but to shape it.
