The government has said that Viksit Bharat is not a project but a vision document under preparation, outlining the growth trajectory for India to become a developed nation by 2047. Union Minister for Planning Rao Inderjit Singh said ‘It is not a project per se’.
Viksit Bharat, Singh said ‘It is a vision document that is under preparation...As Viksit Bharat is not a project, therefore, provision of financial assistance to states does not arise’. He added ‘Infrastructure development is an ongoing priority of the government to boost growth and development’.
About the policy steps taken in the infrastructure and connectivity sector to boost growth and development, the minister stated that the government firmly believes that these sectors are going to be growth engines for Viksit Bharat.
