"Can India transform national ambition into enduring economic, technological and institutional capability? Modi's Vision for Atmanirbhar Bharat examines this defining question through the interconnected themes of self-reliance, governance reform and the national aspiration of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Written from an openly supportive yet evidence-conscious perspective, the book evaluates how the development approach associated with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sought to strengthen welfare delivery, financial inclusion, manufacturing, MSMEs, startups, digital public infrastructure, agriculture, logistics, defence, energy security, frontier technology, human capital and India's global role. It distinguishes announcements from outcomes, recognises implementation gaps and proposes measurable tests of progress.
Drawing on official policy documents, budgets, economic surveys, institutional reports, parliamentary records and selected international assessments, the authors present Atmanirbhar Bharat not as economic isolation, but as resilient interdependence: the capacity to engage confidently with the world while reducing strategic vulnerability at home.
Accessible to policymakers, researchers, students and general readers, this book offers a structured account of what has changed, what remains incomplete and what India must accomplish to convert political vision into durable national capability by 2047."
