The vision to transform India into a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by the year 2047 is framed as a mission to fully realize the goals set out in the Constitution of India. The core pillars of this vision—Youth, Poor, Women, and Farmers (Annadata)—are directly addressed by the Constitution's principles.
Substantive Justice: The vision goes beyond mere economic growth. It aims for zero poverty and universal access to quality education and healthcare, fulfilling the mandate of social and economic justice enshrined in the Preamble and Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP).
oExample: Policy focus on women's empowerment, aiming for significantly increased participation of women in economic activities, directly aligns with the constitutional ideal of equality (Article 14) and equal opportunity (Article 16).
Democratic Accountability: The goal of high economic growth ($\approx \$30$ trillion economy) and prosperity relies on good governance. The Constitution ensures this through democratic institutions, the Rule of Law, and a commitment to transparency.
oExample: Government efforts to simplify processes and achieve "maximum governance, minimum government" (e.g., decriminalization of minor offenses under various corporate laws) directly support the constitutional requirement for an efficient, user-friendly, and accountable government, enhancing the Ease of Doing Business.
