Introduction
India has come a long way from the days of the ‘Planning Commission’ to more
of ‘De-centralised Planning’ under the NITI Aayog. Not only has the number of
States increased to twenty nine states and seven Union Territories, the scope and
denition of development and growth has also undergone a drastic change. India
has successfully removed the tag of an underdeveloped economy and positioned
itself among the fastest growing economies. From internet of things to internet of
everything—the landscape of the world is changing by leaps and bounds. It seems
as if we have stepped into a newer world. As India enters the Amrit Kaal, a concept
popularised by our honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India awakens to
full dreams and aspirations. India @75 certainly has a lot of achievements and
experiences but as a septuagenarian it has its share of unfullled dreams and aspi-
rations too. While India is ranked among the fastest growing economies, with a
remarkable edge in the IT Sector, and has the best demographic dividend prole,
it also has the largest number of poor in the world. The question is: How well are
we prepared to meet the challenges from poverty? While ‘the idea of India’ is
always a binding factor for generations, it is imperative to adopt and implement
policies to be in tandem with changes, lest we tend to miss the bus of progress and
development.
