#BHARAT

India is envisaging a revolution of sorts in infrastructure sector in the next quarter of a century riding on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to make India a ‘Developed Nation’ by 2047.

By building sustainable and modern infrastructure that can match that of any developed country, particularly through advanced transportation networks, including roads, railways, ports, and airports, India intends to accomplish the overall goal of over 8% growth, in future.

The Central Government has launched Gati Shakti programme with a vision to bring under one umbrella, all the major mobility infrastructure projects of various ministries and state governments, such as Bharatmala (roads & highways), Sagarmala (a string of ports), inland waterways, dry/land ports and Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik (UDAN) or a slew of regional airports enabling air travel access to a common man.

At a time when the global economy is facing multiple challenges, it is commendable that India has the courage to propose such an ambitious goal. And it would be a boon to the world if India becomes a developed nation, lifting millions of Indians out of poverty. Of course, to achieve the high target, India needs to show persistent and unprecedented resolve and efforts.
