A joint team comprising NITI Aayog, the State Planning Department, and Deloitte has identified key focus areas for 12 major sectors under the ‘Samarth Uttar Pradesh-Viksit Uttar Pradesh 2047’ Vision Document. Based on these focus areas, nodal departments will now prepare detailed roadmaps for their respective sectors, which will collectively shape the state government’s vision for a developed Uttar Pradesh by 2047.
The 12 sectors selected for the vision document include agriculture, livestock conservation, industrial development, IT and emerging technologies, tourism, urban and rural development, infrastructure, balanced regional development, social welfare, health, education, and security and good governance.
