        abstract = {The vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047 emphasizes holistic national progress, integrating economic growth with sustainable social and psychological wellbeing. This paper explores the evolution from "man-making"—a concept rooted in Swami Vivekananda's philosophy of individual self-realization—to "nation-building," where psychological sciences play a pivotal role in fostering resilient, inclusive societies. Drawing on Indian psychological perspectives, positive psychology, and evidence-based interventions, it argues for psychology's integration into policy frameworks to promote mental health, character development, and collective responsibility. Key themes include the manifestation of innate human potential, resilience amid socio-cultural challenges, and strategies for sustainable wellbeing. The paper concludes with recommendations for psychological interventions aligned with Viksit Bharat's goals, supported by references to seminal works in Indian psychology.},
