CM Siddaramaiah unveils 1,000-day vision; promises piped water for all houses
BENGALURU: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday said in the next 1,000 days, Karnataka aims to guarantee 100% piped water to every household, establish Karnataka as South Asia's electric vehicle capital and achieve full digital and financial inclusion of women. In his speech, shared at the India @2047 event organised by NITI Aayog in New Delhi, he highlighted Karnataka's roadmap for 1,000 days and shared his views on Karnataka's role in nation-building. The CM did not attend the meeting. He said the state aims to transform every district into a skill hub, double the area under organic farming and make Karnataka India's most-efficient service delivery state and advance positive discrimination for social equity, ensuring inclusion of every voice and identity. 'Must reaffirm our commitment to pluralism, justice, rule of law' Offering to partner with the Union government and NITI Aayog in sharing the state's best practices and co-developing frameworks that align with the national ambition of Bharat @2047, he said the Karnataka model is rooted in social justice, economic strength and democratic values. 'We believe that the Karnataka experience can serve as a platform for national collaboration, where innovation meets inclusion, and governance meets grassroots transformation,' he added. As a developed India by 2047 is being envisioned, it is imperative to begin by acknowledging the complex challenges, he said. 'These are not just obstacles of resource or capacity, but challenges of distribution, inclusion, governance and resilience,' he said. Despite progress, widening disparities, regional, economic, and social, continue to limit millions. The real challenge is to ensure equitable development, where every community and region shares in India's growth and opportunity, he said. 'India's demographic dividend remains one of our greatest assets, but also one of our greatest risks. Jobless growth, underemployment and a misalignment between education and employability can lead to social alienation and economic inefficiency,' he said, emphasising the need for national skilling architecture that is both responsive and anticipatory.

Economist SP Sharma launches his book 'India@2047,' envisions India as global economic leader
By Aman Raj New Delhi [India], May 7 (ANI): Renowned economist Dr SP Sharma on Wednesday launched his new book, 'India@2047: Leading the Global Economic Order,' at an event in New Delhi that brought together distinguished voices from the fields of policy, academia, and economics. The book presents a compelling roadmap for India's transformation into a global economic superpower by 2047-- coinciding with the centenary of India's independence. It meticulously examines India's economic landscape, showcasing its remarkable achievements, identifying challenges and outlining crucial reforms needed to advance sustainable and inclusive growth. The author, Dr SP Sharma described India@2047 as a comprehensive analysis of India's economic evolution. 'The book traces India's journey from the post-independence era and the pivotal 1991 economic reforms to today's digital and startup-driven economy,' he said. 'It focuses on seven key areas--structural reforms, foreign trade, global alliances, economic resilience, global positioning, and emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, the digital economy, and startups. India's economic trajectory in the past seven years has been particularly remarkable,' he added. Prof RM Joshi praised the book for its 'empirical and analytical depth,' calling it a 'holistic effort' that offers a clear vision of India's role in the global economic order by 2047. 'It highlights our shift from a low-income economy to a $4 trillion economy today, with some estimates projecting a $35-40 trillion economy by 2047,' he noted. Prof Niti Bhasin of the Delhi School of Economics emphasized the book's policy relevance, citing initiatives like Make in India, the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, and Atmanirbhar Bharat as key drivers of progress. She also pointed to India's growing export performance and recent trade agreements as crucial tools for boosting foreign investment. 'Beyond economics, India's rise as a global soft power is also significant,' she added. The book further explores sectoral growth in agriculture, technology, health, education, and infrastructure, while underscoring the need for inclusive and sustainable development to realize the vision of a Viksit Bharat by 2047. The launch event featured a dynamic panel discussion with notable participants including Krishana Agarwal, National Spokesperson of the BJP; Prof RM Joshi, Vice Chancellor of the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade; Dr Ajay Dua, Former Secretary, Ministry of Commerce; Prof Niti Bhasin of the University of Delhi; Col Saurabh Sanyal; and AP Vicky Shaw, among others.

India's water used to go outside; will now be utilised for country: PM Modi on Indus Water Treaty abeyance
NEW DELHI: In an apparent reference to the Indus Waters Treaty being put in abeyance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said earlier even the water which rightfully belonged to India went outside the country but it will now flow for India's benefit and will be utilised for the country. Addressing the ABP Network's 'India@2047' Summit, Modi asserted that for taking big decisions and achieving objectives, it is important to give primacy to national interest and believe in the country's capability. The prime minister said that when people look at the country now, they can proudly say "democracy can deliver", and stressed that the government was moving from GDP-centric approach to progress based on Gross Empowerment of People (GEP). While speaking about the work done on the interlinking of rivers, Modi quipped that water is a topic of intense discussion in the media lately. "Earlier, even the water which rightfully belonged to India was going outside the country. Now India's water will flow for the country's interest and will be useful for it," he said in an apparent reference to India putting Indus Water Treaty in abeyance as part of countermeasures against Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. Referring to the new Waqf law, Modi said the need for reforming the law was being felt for decades, but to satisfy a votebank even this noble work was defamed. "Now the amendments have been made which in the real sense will help poor Muslim mothers and sisters and poor Pasmanda Muslims," he said. In his address, he said the biggest dream of this changing India is to become 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047. "The country has the capabilities, resources and the willpower for it," he said.
