Abstract: The vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 reflects India’s aspiration to emerge as a developed nation by integrating economic growth with social equity, cultural continuity and knowledge advancement. In the context of rapid globalization, this study examines the interconnected roles of educational transformation, cultural resilience and policy frameworks in shaping India’s developmental trajectory. The background of the study is grounded in the growing need to align global knowledge systems with indigenous traditions while addressing challenges such as linguistic diversity, cultural preservation and inclusive access to quality education. This study adopts a qualitative research methodology, drawing upon policy documents, educational reports and scholarly literature. Key frameworks such as the National Education Policy 2020, global education models and indigenous knowledge systems are critically reviewed to understand their implications for India’s long-term development. The method involves thematic analysis of secondary data to identify major trends, gaps and opportunities in the domains of education, culture and policy. The findings indicate that educational transformation in India must move beyond access to focus on equity, skill development and contextual learning. Cultural resilience emerges as a crucial factor in sustaining national identity amidst global influences, while policy challenges include effective implementation, resource allocation and balancing global competitiveness with local relevance. The results highlight the importance of multilingual education, integration of traditional knowledge and the use of digital technologies for inclusive growth. The study concludes that achieving the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047 requires a holistic and integrated approach, where education serves as a catalyst for socio-economic development, culture acts as a unifying force and policy provides a supportive and adaptive framework. Strengthening the synergy between these domains is essential for building a sustainable, inclusive and globally competitive India.
