Sapta Dhara Viksit Bharat 2047 Independence Day manufacturing defense technology

During India's 80th Independence Day celebrations at the Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled 'Sapta Dhara' (seven streams), a strategic roadmap designed to transform India into a developed nation by 2047.

The framework prioritizes several key sectors: manufacturing power to become a global supply chain hub, agriculture and food production to promote exports of millets and spices, and technological innovation in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and 6G. Additionally, the vision emphasizes defense self-reliance through 'Mission Sudarshan Chakra,' focusing on drones, counter-drone systems, and hypersonic technologies.

To support human capital, the Prime Minister announced plans to provide AI training to 10 million youth within the next year and establish a digital network for free online coaching to assist students from underprivileged backgrounds. The address also touched upon infrastructure through 'Gati Shakti' and the importance of becoming a global leader in emerging technologies rather than just a consumer.
