Atmanirbhar Krishi for Viksit Bharat 2047: Roadmap for Self-Reliance

Abstract

As India marches confidently towards its centenary of independence in 2047, the vision of a Viksit Bharat—a developed, inclusive, and empowered nation—is becoming a shared national aspiration. At the heart of this transformation lies a sector that has fed the nation, employed millions and formed the cultural and economic backbone of India: Agriculture or Krishi. But for India to truly become a developed country by 2047, its agriculture must evolve. The mantra that will drive this change is “Atmanirbhar Krishi”— self-reliant agriculture. This vision is not just about achieving food security, but about empowering farmers, modernizing practices, protecting the environment and creating a robust, technology-enabled ecosystem that brings prosperity to rural India.
