The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, established by the United Nations, serve as a comprehensive blueprint for addressing global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and sustainable growth. India’s vision for Viksit Bharat@2047, which aspires to achieve a developed and self-reliant nation by its centennial independence, aligns closely with the SDGs. This study examines the connections between India's developmental goals and the SDG agenda, pointing out important implementation gaps and suggesting doable solutions for quicker advancement. The report highlights major obstacles in areas like infrastructure, medical care, higher learning, and environmental sustainability by utilizing case studies, policy assessments, and an assessment of current trends. Additionally, it provides a road plan for utilizing technology, creativity, and public-private partnerships to close these gaps. The study highlights how attaining the SDGs by 2030 could pave the path for a resilient and wealthy India by 2047 by highlighting the importance of governance, citizen participation, and resource optimization.
