NITI Aayog Maps 25-Year Digital Public Infrastructure Vision for Viksit Bharat
Why it matters
NITI Aayog’s 'DPI@2047' strategy serves as the structural backbone for the Viksit Bharat initiative. While current success rests on Aadhaar, UPI, and DigiLocker, the roadmap shifts focus toward 'second-generation' digital assets. This includes interoperable systems designed for agricultural logistics, green energy credits, and decentralized educational records to close the urban-rural gap.
The plan pivots on the concept of 'non-linear' growth—the idea that technological efficiency can trigger economic expansion at a rate far exceeding traditional projections. Execution requires strict data protection frameworks and coordinated action between the Ministry of Electronics and IT and various statutory bodies to meet the 2047 deadline.
