        abstract = {India’s vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 seeks to transform the country into a developed nation by the centenary year of independence while ensuring inclusive economic growth, social justice, digital governance, and infrastructure expansion. This research paper examines the impact of the Viksit Bharat vision on marginalised communities in India, particularly Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs), women, minorities, sanitation workers, rural labourers, migrant workers, and economically weaker sections.
The study is based on secondary data collected from government reports, NITI Aayog publications, policy documents, economic surveys, programme dashboards, and academic literature. The paper analyses the effects of major welfare schemes such as PM Jan Dhan Yojana, PM Awas Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, Ayushman Bharat, Digital India, and Direct Benefit Transfer systems on socio-economic inclusion.
The findings reveal that Viksit Bharat initiatives have significantly improved financial inclusion, welfare accessibility, housing security, drinking water access, and digital governance among vulnerable populations. However, structural challenges such as digital illiteracy, unemployment, regional inequality, caste discrimination, and uneven implementation continue to restrict inclusive development.
The study concludes that the success of Viksit Bharat depends not merely on economic growth but on whether development translates into dignity, equal opportunity, sustainable livelihoods, and social justice for all sections of society.},
