Concept Note
India is in the transformative phase of Amrit Kaal, leading up to 2047. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has envisioned Viksit Bharat @ 2047 as a citizen-driven national mission grounded in good governance, cultural confidence, youth empowerment, and Jan Bhagidari. Aligned with this vision, Bharat Vimarsh is a nationwide campaign of the Divi Policy Forum and an initiative of the Divi Welfare Foundation. It provides a mass dialogue platform to engage citizens-especially youth—in shaping India’s future through structured discussions and consultations. Organised around three themes—Rashtra, Sanskriti, and Youth—Bharat Vimarsh facilitates comprehensive discussions on governance and social development, cultural values, youth leadership, economy, education, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship, environment, national security, and all other key sectors relevant to Viksit Bharat @ 2047.
