Developed India Mission

India is at a point in time where every minute and every Indian matters for India’s future. We have an aspirational population with an average age below 30 years – what we have often referred to as a demographic dividend, but this is only a demographic opportunity. There are many upsides to the India story, and at the same time, there are cliffs, which we need to be careful about, or else we may be in for a free fall. We need to consider a few facts to understand the urgency behind the ‘narrow window of opportunity’ India has. The next twenty-five years will be the last opportunity for India to become a developed country. Now the time has come to develop an action plan for achieving this time critical goal.
