| Vision Document Being Prepared For Viksit Bharat @ 2047: NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam | | |  agencies
NEW DELHI, Nov 29: NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam on Wednesday said a vision document is being prepared for India to become a developed economy of about USD 30 trillion by 2047.
The draft 'Vision India @2047' document will outline the institutional and structural changes/ reforms that will be needed for the country to become a developed nation by 2047.
"A vision plan is being prepared for India to become a developed economy…the prime minister will release the document in January," Subrahmanyam said while addressing an event organised by industry body FICCI.
In 2023, NITI Aayog was entrusted with the task of consolidating the 10 sectoral thematic visions into a combined vision for Viksit Bharat @2047.
Subrahmanyam said the government wants college enrolment rate in India to increase from 27 per cent to 50-60 per cent.
"So, the college going population would go up from 4 crore to 8- 9 crore. So we need thousand more universities, in addition to thousand universities we have today," he said.
Subrahmanyam highlighted that since states are fiscally stressed, funds for opening new universities will have to come from the private sector.
He noted that there is a need to create education cities like Boston and San Francisco where R&D and innovation can happen.
Observing that the median age of half of India's population is below 29 years, the NITI Aayog CEO said," We have a window of 25 years to exploit the demographic potential of India."
