NITI Aayog Plans Economic Transformation for Four Cities
The Aayog is actively engaged in preparing economic planning for these cities, a shift from traditional urban planning approaches. Additionally, plans are underway to extend this economic planning framework to 20-25 more cities across the country, recognizing their importance as economic hubs.
A vision document is in the works at NITI Aayog, aiming for India to achieve the status of a developed economy with a GDP of USD 30 trillion by 2047. This document is slated for release by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Highlighting the collaborative efforts between the Centre and states, Subrahmanyam mentioned a meeting between Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and NITI Aayog officials. The discussions revolved around strategies to elevate the GDP of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) to USD 300 billion by 2030.
In a concerted effort to engage the country's youth in shaping India's future, the Centre sought their views on December 11 to drive the vision of India as a developed nation by 2047. Over 10 lakh detailed suggestions have been received from the youth, which are being processed using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, Subrahmanyam informed.
