Vice President of India, C.P. Radhakrishnan, delivered a powerful address in Mysuru, outlining the nation's ambitious roadmap toward achieving the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. Speaking at a significant event, he emphasized that consistent, dedicated efforts are the fundamental building blocks for reaching grand national objectives.
The Core Message: Persistence and Patriotism
The Vice President articulated a clear and compelling message to the citizens of India. He stressed that the monumental goal of transforming India into a developed nation by 2047 cannot be achieved through sporadic attempts. Instead, it requires the unwavering commitment and persistent hard work of every individual. Drawing a vivid analogy, he compared the journey of national development to a marathon, not a sprint, where steady progress ultimately leads to remarkable achievements.
During his speech, Shri Radhakrishnan highlighted the crucial role of patriotism and national pride in this developmental journey. He called upon the people to actively contribute to the nation's progress, framing it as a collective responsibility. The vision for a developed India, or 'Viksit Bharat,' serves as a unifying national aspiration, one that transcends individual differences and unites the country in a common purpose.
Empowering the Youth for a Brighter Future
A substantial part of the Vice President's address was dedicated to the youth of India, whom he identified as the primary architects of the nation's future. He expressed immense confidence in their potential to drive innovation, economic growth, and social change. To fully harness this potential, he underscored the importance of a robust and forward-looking education system.
Shri Radhakrishnan specifically praised the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 as a transformative reform. He described it as a pivotal framework designed to equip young Indians with the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities needed to thrive in the 21st century. The NEP's focus on holistic development, flexibility, and aligning education with global standards was presented as a key enabler for the Viksit Bharat mission.
A Call to Action for Collective Participation
The event in Mysuru was more than just a speech; it was a clarion call for nationwide participation. The Vice President's words were aimed at inspiring every segment of society—from students and professionals to entrepreneurs and policymakers—to internalize the goals of Viksit Bharat 2047.
He concluded by reinforcing that the government's initiatives and policies create the necessary foundation, but the ultimate success of this vision depends on the active involvement and contribution of 1.4 billion Indians. The path to 2047 is paved with the daily efforts of its people, and through collective resolve, India is poised to realize its destiny as a global leader and a developed nation.
