We have democracy, demography and diversity with us. As I said, now a fourth D is getting added to it – development. I have said earlier too that the period till 2047 is a huge opportunity.
Indians who are living in this era have a great chance to lay a foundation for growth that will be remembered for the next 1,000 years! The nation is also realizing the enormity of this moment. This is why, you see an unprecedented rise across multiple domains. We have a century of unicorns and are the third-largest startup hub.
Our space sector’s achievements are being celebrated the world over. In almost every global sports event, India is breaking all previous records. More universities are entering the top rankings of the world year after year.
With such momentum, I am positive that we will be in the top three economies in the near future. By 2047, I am sure that our country will be among the developed countries. Our economy will be even more inclusive and innovative.
